Scheduled for October 15 in Chennai, the protest will bring together opposition parties Congress, DMK, VCK, MDMK, IUML, CPI (M), CPI, and CPI (ML) as they unite against the BJP. The protest is spearheaded by Congress MP B Manickam Tagore, whose decision to align with the INDIA bloc has deepened the political rift between Congress and the DMK.",
