The Quit India Movement, also known as the “Bharat Chodo Andolan”, was launched by Mahatma Gandhi on August 9, 1942. Meanwhile, the BJP has said it will launch the 'Quit India' campaign against the Opposition bloc and will hold a protest later in the day. PM Modi, while speaking after laying the foundation stone for the redevelopment of 508 railway stations in 27 states and UTs via video conferencing on Sunday, strongly criticised "corruption, dynasty rule, and appeasement" stating that the whole country is rooting for these evil forces to quit India".

The PM said that August 9 “is the day when the historic 'Quit India' started. Mahatma Gandhi had given the Mantra, and the Quit India Movement created new energy in India's steps towards independence. Inspired by this, today the whole country is saying for every evil, which is quit India," as quoted by ANI. He said, "There is only one reverberation in all directions, and that is corruption quit India, dynasty quit India, and appeasement quit India."
