BJP's Nitin Nabin to Lead Massive 'Loktantra Bachao' Padyatra in Delhi
BJP President Nitin Nabin leads the Loktantra Bachao Arajakta Hatao Padyatra in Delhi to protest against Congress and Rahul Gandhi.
The national capital is bracing for a major political demonstration as BJP National President Nitin Nabin prepares to lead the Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao Padyatra in New Delhi on Wednesday. Scheduled to begin at 4:30 PM, the march is designed as a strong rebuttal to the Congress party and the alleged anarchist tendencies of Rahul Gandhi.
The Route and Participation
The foot march will kick off from the historic Shri Jain Lal Mandir near the Red Fort and will wind its way through the city, culminating at Town Hall Chowk in Chandni Chowk. The event is expected to draw a significant crowd, with Delhi BJP President Harsh Malhotra and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta joining Nitin Nabin. A large number of senior party leaders and common citizens are also expected to participate in the demonstration.
BJP Slams Congress for 'Anarchist' Politics
The Padyatra is a direct response to what the BJP describes as the disruptive behavior of the Congress party. Delhi BJP President Harsh Malhotra criticized the opposition for frequently staging protests inside Parliament and near the Supreme Court, claiming that such actions hold the residents of the capital hostage.
Malhotra further lashed out at the Congress's rhetoric regarding "regime change," calling it a grave insult to the democratic mandate provided by 140 crore Indians to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He questioned how a political party could use such language against a government that was democratically elected, stating that the march aims to expose the "anarchist politics" of the Congress and protect the essence of democracy.
A Nationwide Counter-Offensive
This Delhi march is not an isolated event but part of a larger, coordinated nationwide strategy. The BJP has launched these foot marches across various states as a counter to the 'Vote Chori' campaign initiated by the Congress and the INDI Alliance.
The party has deployed its most influential faces, including Union Ministers and Chief Ministers, to lead these efforts across the country. The scale of the mobilization is evident in the upcoming schedule:
- Union Home Minister Amit Shah: Will join the Yatra in Hyderabad on November 2 and in Karnal on November 5.
- Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath: Will lead the march in Lucknow on November 1.
- Other CMs: Pushkar Singh Dhami (Uttarakhand) and Devendra Fadnavis (Maharashtra) will also participate on November 1.
- Senior Leadership: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Minister J.P. Nadda, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and CM Himanta Biswa Sarma are scheduled to join the Yatra at various locations.
Setting the momentum, Union Minister J.P. Nadda has already conducted a 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' Padyatra in Ahmedabad today.
Engaging the Youth
Parallel to the leadership-led marches, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) has stepped up its game. On October 25, the BJYM launched a nationwide youth outreach programme under the same 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' Abhiyaan.
This youth-centric initiative, which will run until November 30, focuses on engaging young citizens in dialogues about democracy. The goal is to counter misinformation and encourage the youth to participate in nation-building through informed and meaningful discourse.
