‘SIR cost many their votes… fight has just begun’: Praise, support for Rahul-led rally

Priyank Rawat, an IT professional from Gurugram, expressed his admiration for the 'Chalo Dilli' march led by Congress Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. The rally, which began at Minto Road-Connaught Place junction and concluded at Ramlila Maidan, drew many participants, in Priyank's words. Despite the chaos caused by heavy traffic and long traffic snarls, the march saw a huge turnout.

However, by 3:30 pm, when Rahul concluded his speech, many chairs at the ground were empty, and several protestors had to walk for over two kilometers to reach the rally site. The event saw participation from various parties and states, including leaders from the INDIA bloc like Tejaswi Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav, Telangana Congress worker Laxman, and Binoi Shah from Kerala.

Laxman and Shah mentioned the SIR process costing numerous voters their votes and vowed to continue fighting against it. Congress workers from Punjab, Haryana, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh also joined the rally, carrying signs highlighting the impact of the SIR exercise on the 13 crore voters. The march eventually ended, and traffic gradually returned to normal, allowing shops to open in Connaught Place.
