Bhiwandi: Stepping up its campaign against the Election Commission over alleged irregularities in the electoral process, the INDIA bloc will organise a ‘Long March’ in Bhiwandi on October 9 at 3 pm. The protest will begin from the statue of Bharat Ratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and proceed to the office of the Sub-Divisional Officer.

The announcement was made at a press conference held by INDIA bloc leaders in Bhiwandi on Wednesday.

Similar protests have intensified across the country, with Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi leading demonstrations in Delhi.
