Political Face-Off: BJP Takes to Delhi Streets as INDIA Alliance Holds Ramlila Maidan Rally

Amid the INDIA alliance rally at Ramlila Maidan, the BJP organised a separate protest march in Delhi’s Hari Nagar and Tilak Nagar areas, intensifying the political face-off in the capital. The march began near the Hari Nagar bus depot and was expected to cover around 1–1.5 kilometres towards Tilak Nagar. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta participated alongside Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Delhi BJP leader Ashish Sood, Manjinder Singh Sirsa and MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri. BJP workers and members of the Sikh community joined the procession, with several participants wearing black bands and carrying placards. The BJP accused Congress of choosing November 1 for its rally despite the significance of the 1984 anti-Sikh violence anniversary. Participants who said their families had suffered during the violence expressed anger and demanded accountability from Congress leaders, including Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar. Some also referred to ongoing court proceedings and investigations. BJP representatives highlighted rehabilitation and employment measures taken for affected families, while accusing Congress of disregarding their suffering. The party said the march was intended to remember the victims and convey its protest against the Congress-led rally. According to the reporter, more than 5,000 people were expected to participate.
