Daler composes song for CWG

Addressing the INDIA Alliance rally at Ramlila Maidan against alleged vote theft, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav launched a scathing attack on the ruling government and central institutions. Invoking the Mahabharata, he compared the current political scenario to the dishonest dice game played by Shakuni, alleging an unlevel playing field in elections. Targeting the administration over software procurement contracts with TCS and institutional bias, Tejashwi questioned the transparency of tenders and official documents. He asserted that compromised government machinery poses a grave danger to democracy, adding: 'ये लड़ाई, ये लड़ाई देश के voters और देश के cheaters से है'. Stressing Bihar's historical role as the cradle of democracy and the origin of the INDIA bloc, he urged voters to unite against the Bharatiya Janata Party in upcoming elections and safeguard constitutional institutions.

CPI(M) leader M. A. Baby called for a united second freedom struggle against the RSS and fascist forces to protect the democratic Constitution. He demanded the immediate resignation and prosecution of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged vote rigging. Sharply attacking the Prime Minister, he said, 'Narendra Modi asatya ka maharaja hai', citing unfulfilled promises to farmers where incomes did not double but suicides doubled instead.

A massive crowd gathered at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan as the INDIA bloc mobilised cadres for a major rally addressed by Rahul Gandhi and opposition leaders. While organisers claimed an expected attendance of 10 lakh people, the venue was packed to capacity with participants arriving from various walks of life. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched an attack on Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc from Chandigarh. Shah termed the decision to hold the rally on 1st November insensitive, pointing out the date's association with the 1984 anti-Sikh violence and the impact on local wholesale traders, asserting that the opposition would face defeat in upcoming elections.

Addressing a gathering in Chandigarh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah mounted a sharp attack on Rahul Gandhi and the opposition, stating that the public is closely observing the progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Amit Shah asserted that by 31 December 2029, the government will ensure Punjab and the entire nation are completely drug-free. He highlighted key achievements under the Modi government, including the revocation of Article 370, the eradication of Naxalism, the end of triple talaq, and widespread welfare initiatives such as free food grains, electrification, and sanitation. Shah asserted that despite parliamentary disruptions by the opposition, the Modi government remains committed to implementing 33 percent reservation for women. Furthermore, he commended Chandigarh Police for securing top rankings in beat policing and the implementation of three new criminal laws, promising that the city's longstanding issues will soon be addressed.
