BSF deployed at Delhi-Gurugram border as security tightened ahead of INDIA bloc rally
INDIA bloc supporters, including SFI members, gathered at Ramlila Maidan, while security was heightened across Delhi for political events.
Supporters of the INDIA bloc parties began assembling at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on Sunday morning, November 1, 2026, as part of the opposition alliance's Chalo Dilli protest. The demonstration was organized in response to alleged electoral irregularities and demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Party workers had gathered at various locations across the capital prior to the event. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi urged attendees to support local businesses during the protest, which was expected to draw lakhs of people to the capital. The main march from Minto Road-Connaught Place junction was scheduled for noon, leading to the rally at Ramlila Maidan.
The venue was adorned with tricolour canopies, barricades, and temporary structures to manage the expected crowd of up to 10 lakh people. Security was bolstered with over 4,000 police personnel and advanced surveillance technology, while the opposition leaders traveled in open buses to the rally site.
