‘Tell Modi to sack ‘accused no. 4’: Rahul Gandhi tells Delhi traders ahead of planned November 1 rally

Delhis Chamber of Trade and Industry has urged the INDIA bloc to hold its Ramlila Maidan rally after November 10, citing the risk of losses during the festive shopping season. The body estimates Dhanteras sales in the capital at nearly Rs 25,000 crore and says earlier traffic diversions cost traders around Rs 3,000 crore.

Protest Against CEC: Latest News, Trending topics videos, photos | Zee News English

<div><span>Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday urged Delhi’s traders to press Prime Minister Narendra Modi to remove Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, saying protests over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls would end within 30 seconds if the demand were met.</span></div><div><span>In a post on X, Gandhi accused the government of disrupting business and public movement in the national capital by shutting metro services, sealing roads and imposing restrictions during demonstrations against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.</span></div><div><span>“To every trader in Delhi: We love you and hear you,” Gandhi wrote. He warned that what he described as a stolen vote threatened not only democracy but also businesses, savings and children’s futures.</span></div><div><span>“Tell Modi to sack accused no. 4, Gyanesh Kumar and the protests will stop in 30 seconds,” he added.</span></div><div><span>His remarks came amid concerns from Delhi’s trading community over the INDIA bloc’s planned rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1.</span></div><div><span>Traders have asked the opposition alliance to postpone the event, warning that demonstrations and restrictions could affect business during the festive shopping season.</span></div><h2><span>Delhi traders seek postponement of November 1 rally</span></h2><div><span>The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) has urged the INDIA bloc to defer its November 1 rally until after November 10, citing the possible impact of traffic diversions, road closures and transport restrictions on markets across the capital.</span></div><div><span>The traders’ body has also pointed to losses allegedly caused by previous rallies, marches and road closures in Connaught Place and other parts of central Delhi.</span></div><div><span>The proposed rally is part of the opposition alliance’s campaign against alleged electoral irregularities and its demand for Kumar’s removal.</span></div><div><span>The Congress has accused the Election Commission of failing to address concerns over the SIR exercise. It has also called for changes to the legal framework governing the appointment and protection of election commissioners.</span></div><h2><span>Kharge renews demand for CEC’s resignation</span></h2><div><span>Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday accused the Modi government of using every possible means to protect Kumar despite what he described as “countless revelations of vote theft”.</span></div><div><span>Kharge alleged that the Election Commission had declined to disclose information about the software used in the SIR process under the Right to Information (RTI) framework, citing “Trade Secrets”.</span></div><div><span>He called on people to join the INDIA bloc’s November 1 </span><em>Dilli Chalo</em><span> march and rally at Ramlila Maidan, presenting the campaign as a fight to protect democracy and the Constitution.</span></div><div><span>Kharge also raised questions about electoral records in Uttar Pradesh. He claimed that details of 16.18 lakh Form 6 applications had not been made public. Form 6 is used to apply for inclusion in electoral rolls.</span></div><div><span>He further cited discrepancies involving 10,470 voters in Pilibhit and said the matter had prompted authorities to order an investigation into Forms 6, 7 and 8 across the state.</span></div><h2><span>Congress demands halt to SIR and return of paper ballots</span></h2><div><span>Kharge reiterated the INDIA bloc’s demands, including Kumar’s resignation, repeal of the 2023 law providing protection to election commissioners, an immediate halt to the SIR exercise and restoration of voters’ names that the opposition alleges were illegally removed.</span></div><div><span>He also called for elections to be conducted using paper ballots.</span></div><div><span>“This is not just a fight to save votes; it is a people’s struggle to save the Constitution and democracy,” Kharge said.</span></div><div><span>On Sunday, the Congress accused the Election Commission of withholding information about its ECINET software. The party alleged that repeated refusals to disclose details were intended to conceal what it described as “massive, centralised manipulation” during the SIR exercise.</span></div><div><span>The Election Commission’s response to the latest allegations was not included in the statements issued by the Congress leaders.</span></div><div> </div>

‘Tell Modi to sack ‘accused no. 4’: Rahul Gandhi tells  Delhi traders

<p><span><strong>New Delhi:</strong> Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday (October 26) said that the INDIA bloc would consider a request from Delhi's traders to reschedule its November 1 rally at Ramlila Maidan, as the business community warned that the event could disrupt sales during the festive shopping season.</span></p><p><span>Speaking to reporters in Patna, he said the Opposition leadership would discuss the request within a day or two and seek a solution. The rally is part of the coalition’s drive across India against alleged “vote chori (vote theft)”.</span></p><p><span>“The rally is scheduled for November 1. We have received an appeal from the traders. We will think about it today or tomorrow and find a solution because what we are doing is also for the public and for them,” he said.</span></p><p><span>He emphasised that the Opposition's campaign addressed a serious issue related to voters' rights. “This issue of 'vote chori' is very serious,” he said, arguing that people must have the right to vote for businesses and students to have opportunities.</span></p><p><span>“Still, we have received their request, and we will consider it,” Kharge added.</span></p><h2><span><strong>Why Delhi traders want the rally postponed</strong></span></h2><p><span>The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) had written to Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on October 24, urging the INDIA bloc to hold the rally after November 10. The dates cited by the trade body include Dhanteras on November 6, Diwali on November 8 and Bhai Dooj on November 10.</span></p><p><span>CTI Chairman Brijesh Goyal said that the rally could affect business during one of the busiest periods of the year. According to him, Dhanteras generates nearly Rs 25,000 crore in business in Delhi, including sales of gold, jewellery, electronics, clothing and automobiles.</span></p><p><span>The CTI also cited losses suffered by traders earlier in October because of traffic diversions in Central Delhi. It estimated that the restrictions had cost retail and wholesale businesses around Rs 3,000 crore.</span></p><h2><strong>Why traders fear rally disruptions</strong></h2><p><span>The trade body said Ramlila Maidan lies within a five-kilometre radius of nearly 20 major wholesale and retail markets. These include Chandni Chowk, Sadar Bazar, Khari Baoli, Bhagirath Palace, Chawri Bazar and Karol Bagh.</span></p><p><span>Traders fear that security barricades, traffic diversions and possible restrictions on metro services could make these markets difficult for customers to reach during the festive rush.</span></p><p><span>The CTI also drew attention to the venue's proximity to Old Delhi and New Delhi railway stations. Thousands of shoppers and wholesale traders travel to the capital from other cities during the festive season, and congestion near the stations could complicate their journeys and the movement of goods.</span></p><p><span>The organisation acknowledged the right of political parties to hold public meetings but appealed the Opposition leadership to consider the impact on small and medium-sized businesses.</span></p><p><span>It urged Gandhi to consider holding the rally after November 10, when the main festive shopping period would have passed.</span></p>
