Rahul Gandhi Calls for 'Chalo Dilli' Rally on Nov 1 at Ramlila Maidan

Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi posted a video on X on October 29, 2026 urging anyone who wants to "save democracy" to join the ‘Chalo Dilli’ march at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan on Sunday, November 1. He framed the rally as a protest to stop vote theft, protect the Constitution and roll back the controversial Special Intensive Revision (SIR), while also demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

In the same message Gandhi stressed that the march does not belong to any political party but to “Hindustan’s soul”, calling on people fed up with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and CEC Gyanesh Kumar to attend. He appealed directly to student groups of all affiliations, assuring them that police or lathi‑batons would not deter the protest and that the BJP “will not have the guts” to intervene.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) backed the INDIA bloc’s rally in a tweet on October 28, 2026, with founder Abhijeet Dipke writing “GYANU MUST GO!” and reiterating the demand to roll back the SIR and remove the CEC over alleged electoral irregularities. The CJP had previously led a massive student protest in July over NEET‑UG 2026 irregularities, a campaign that forced Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign.

The rally is scheduled for November 1 at Ramlila Maidan, with the hashtag #ChaloDilli promoted by Gandhi. He concluded the video by calling the march “fantastic” and a march for the nation’s soul. What to watch: turnout and police response on the day of the rally.
