Addressing a gathering during the I.N.D.I.A bloc rally at Ramlila Maidan, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Sunday aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asserting that without EVMs, match-fixing, social media manipulation, and pressurising the press, the ruling party could not secure more than 180 seats in elections.
"The ruling party cannot secure more than 180 seats without EVMs, match-fixing, social media manipulation, and pressurising the press," Gandhi reiterated during his address at the 'Loktantra Bachao' rally held in the national capital.
The event witnessed the presence of several prominent opposition leaders, including Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray, NCP's Sharad Pawar, and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal, among others. Kalpana Soren, wife of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, also joined the rally.
Sunita Kejriwal, reading out a message from her husband Arvind Kejriwal who is currently in jail, questioned the actions of Prime Minister Modi and affirmed her husband's integrity, stating, "Your Kejriwal is a lion". Read the full report here.

Echoing similar sentiments, Kalpana Soren addressed the crowd, expressing solidarity with women and tribal communities and denouncing dictatorship.
Tejashwi Yadav, in his speech, forecasted a political storm that would see Prime Minister Modi's departure akin to his rise to power.
The BJP countered the opposition's rally, labelling it as a "save family" and "hide corruption" event rather than a "save democracy" gathering. Party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi cited past corruption allegations against opposition leaders to refute claims of political vendetta by the ruling government. Click here to read more.
