What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

Protests were held in Delhi targeting Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged benefits to the Bharatiya Janata Party. The INDIA bloc held a rally at Ramlila Maidan, during which the Bharatiya Janata Party claimed that 40% of the venue was vacant, contradicting claims of 10 lakh attendees made by Rahul Gandhi. Delhi Traffic Police placed restrictions on heavy vehicle movement around Ramlila Maidan due to the event.
