Inviting people for the November 1 programme, he said, “November 1 - Chalo Dilli. Save the Vote - Save the Country Jan March and Mega Rally. Students, farmers, laborers, women, youth, and traders - anyone who cares about democracy must come.
The vote is yours. The fight is also yours.”ALSO READ: Haryana Congress mobilises cadre for Nov 1 rallyTaking a dig at the ruling BJP government for helping opposition reach a wider audience, Rahul said, “Heartfelt thanks to BJP and its allies, who are promoting this program with such great enthusiasm and reaching it to more and more people.
