‘Don’t just protest, shop’: Rahul urges INDIA bloc rally to support Delhi traders

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi urged participants at the INDIA bloc’s ‘Chalo Dilli’ rally in Delhi to support local traders by shopping from their stores during the festive season. His appeal came after traders’ associations opposed the November 1 rally, warning that the gathering could disrupt business in the capital’s key commercial markets.

Gandhi’s video message on X appealed to people travelling to Delhi from different parts of the country to support small businesses by purchasing goods after attending the rally, stating that the gathering would not harm traders and accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of spreading rumours about its economic impact.
