New Delhi [India], October 29 (ANI): Preparations are underway at Ramlila Maidan against alleged 'vote theft', SIR and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, ahead of the INDIA bloc's November 1 rally. Earlier in the day, Congress leader and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi urged people who he said 'want to protect democracy and the Constitution' to join the 'Chalo Delhi Ramlila March' scheduled for November 1, calling it a movement to“save democracy”, stop“vote theft” and protect the Constitution.

In a video message shared in a post on X, Rahul Gandhi said the march is aimed at stopping vote theft, stressing that it was not associated with any one political party.“Chalo Dilli Ramlila March, it is a march to save democracy, to stop vote theft, to save the Constitution. This is not a march of any one political party; it is a march of the soul of India. All the people who are fed up with Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and Gyanesh Kumar, all the people who want to save democracy, who want to protect the Constitution, you all come,” he said.
