At the INDIA bloc rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan, Congress leaders launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera warned of a political storm that, he claimed, would sweep Gyanesh Kumar out of office and eventually end the Modi government's tenure. He accused the ruling establishment of harming every section of society, saying it would have to answer for its actions. Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot accused the BJP leadership of being defensive, backed Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge's decision to organise the rally, and said the fight to protect democracy was connected to the future of the country's youth.
