The Congress will put up a big show of strength at Delhi’s Ramlila maidan on Sunday (September 4, 2022) and launch an all-out attack on the BJP government over price rise, unemployment and the GST hike on essential items. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and a host of party leaders would address the “Mehngai par halla bol” rally. Party workers from Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, besides other parts of the country, would participate in it.
Congress leaders held press conferences in 22 cities across the country early this week and gave a “Dilli Chalo” call for its “Mehangai Par Halla Bol rally” at Ramlila Maidan on September 4.
