On March 31, Delhi Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Gopal Rai declared that the opposition ‘INDIA’ bloc is set to host a massive rally in Delhi. This announcement comes amidst the escalating confrontation between the opposition and the Narendra Modi government following the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate in the excise policy case.
Rai expressed, “The arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has stirred indignation among all those who cherish and uphold the constitution nationwide. It’s not just about Kejriwal; it seems like a systematic attempt to dismantle the entire opposition.”
He further accused Prime Minister Modi of misusing central agencies and manipulating legislators. “PM Modi is resorting to tactics like buying MLAs or intimidating them to join BJP. Those who resist are being targeted with fabricated charges,” Rai asserted.
Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj highlighted the symbolic significance of Ramlila Maidan, where the rally is scheduled to take place. “Ramlila Maidan has been witness to pivotal moments in our nation’s history. It’s where AAP emerged, and now it will serve as the platform for the unity of all INDIA parties,” Bharadwaj stated.
Arvinder Singh Lovely, Delhi Congress chief, emphasized the rally’s broader purpose. “Democracy is under threat, and our leader Rahul Gandhi is leading the fight to protect it. We stand firmly with our partners in the INDIA alliance,” he declared. “The ‘maha rally’ on March 31 isn’t merely about politics; it’s a rallying cry to safeguard our democracy and challenge the BJP-led government at the center,” Lovely concluded.
