Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Congress party workers burned an effigy of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Bhopal on Tuesday as part of the party's Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao campaign against alleged irregularities in electoral rolls. Similar protests were organised across Madhya Pradesh.

At a meeting of district Congress presidents and district in-charges, the state leadership issued instructions to mobilise workers for two major programmes in Delhi on November 1 and November 26.
The party has set a target of bringing one lakh people to Gwalior on November 25, from where leaders and workers will leave together for Delhi the following day.
The campaign launched under the All India Congress Committee's two-month programme includes protests, block-level marches and village meetings to raise concerns over electoral rolls.
