AAP’s Saurabh Bhardwaj demands FIR after cockroach effigy burnt in Delhi’s Pitampura

The Congress party workers in Bhopal took a strong stand against alleged electoral irregularities by burning an effigy of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Tuesday. The action was part of the party's Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao campaign. Similar protests were held across Madhya Pradesh, with the Bhopal City Congress Committee leading the charge at Ambedkar Jayanti Maidan.

City president Praveen Saxena vowed that Congress workers would continue their street protests until Kumar resigned. He also announced that thousands of workers from Bhopal would join the INDIA bloc's rally in Delhi on November 1. The state leadership issued instructions to mobilize workers for two major events in Delhi on November 1 and November 26.

The party aims to gather one lakh people in Gwalior on November 25, with the next day's march to Delhi. This campaign, launched under the All India Congress Committee's two-month program, includes protests, block-level marches, and village meetings to address concerns over electoral rolls. Meanwhile, Bhopal is also preparing for Durga Visarjan, with over 2,000 idols awaiting immersion at seven ghats.
