INDIA Bloc Stages 'March for Democracy' in New Delhi

#national #brief

The INDIA bloc held a 'March for Democracy' in New Delhi on October 12, 2026, to protest against the Chief Election Commissioner and alleged electoral irregularities. The Congress party claimed 2.5 lakh participants joined the four-hour demonstration, which moved toward the Supreme Court.

Party leaders coordinated the mass mobilization by asking workers to travel to the capital despite police barricades and detentions. General secretary K.C. Venugopal attributed the high turnout to meticulous planning and a recent organizational overhaul of the Congress party machinery.
