The cavalcade of Rahul Gandhi and INDIA bloc leaders reached Raj Ghat in Delhi after a five-kilometre stretch from Connaught Place Outer Circle, accompanied by party workers. The Delhi Police permitted the movement to Raj Ghat, where security forces, including CRPF personnel, were deployed. Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, remained inside the buses outside the Raj Ghat gates awaiting entry permission amid security concerns over the large gathering of workers. The Congress-led opposition has been holding street protests concerning the Chief Election Commissioner issue, following earlier demonstrations between Parliament and Akashvani Bhavan.

00:00Moshmi Singh is on the ground. Moshmi, over to you. Where are you? What do you see around you?
00:11So we are at Rajghat, Pooja, and I hope you can hear. We are at Rajghat and here, you know,
00:19the entire cavalcade of Rahul Gandhi and the India Bloc leaders has reached.
00:25You are seeing those pictures that are rolling out from inside. It's been quite a stretch, you know, because we've
00:35seen that the buses were actually moving at a very, very slow speed.
00:41There was a lot of workers walking in front of the buses, walking beside the bus. But this has been
00:47the longest stretch in the past three days.
00:50Remember, the first one just was from the Parliament to Akashwani Bhawan, which is about 800 meters.
00:59And then yesterday we saw a short stretch from CP, outer circle, to the Lee Meridian crossroad, where the entire
01:10team was, the opposition leaders were stopped.
01:14And we saw a lot of dharna happening. But that picture is not rolling out today. The police has allowed
01:20the entire cavalcade to come to Rajghat.
01:24Now remember that from CP, outer circle, this is about a five kilometer stretch.
01:29I really need to understand one thing. You're also reporting from Rajghat. If they've been allowed, is Rahul Gandhi still
01:36in that bus?
01:36Why is he not getting out? Do they not have permission? Because that visual we are waiting for is them
01:42at the Rajghat. That is not happening.
01:50That's right. It's been quite a while, Pooja. What we've been given to understand that the buses are like stationed
02:00outside.
02:00It's been quite a while. They have been circling outside, probably waiting for a point to enter inside and any
02:12time from now that could possibly happen.
02:14Because they would have not been allowed to come to. They've gone inside Rajghat? They're just outside.
02:20So we're asking one of the police personals also and he's saying that they are just outside.
02:26So I think they might be waiting for some permission because this is a large group of people.
02:31And also there are lots of workers, hundreds of them here.
02:36So that could be a security concern in terms of just opening the entire...
02:40Mahasmi, what is the strategy here? We see the gates of the Rajghat. I think that's the CRPF that's been
02:44deployed.
02:44Of course, the Delhi police as well. Rahul Gandhi Priyanga Diwaad are still in that bus.
02:48Mahasmi, what is the strategy here of the Congress Party?
02:51The government has said there's nothing wrong with this.
02:54The court has said the same. There is very unlikelihood of the CEC resigning or being removed.
03:01Why do you think the Congress believes this is the best issue they have at hand for which they are
03:05indulging in street protest every day?
03:10Look at that visual. Mahasmi, please stay on with me.
03:13Mahasmi Singh, Anjali Pandey, Aishwarya Paliwal, Ahmed Bhardwaj, all our colleagues on the ground.
03:17This is the front gate of the Rajghat. But for some strange reason for which we don't have a clarity
03:23yet, Rahul Gandhi and others are still in that bus.
03:26It's the delegation of all the leaders. But there are some leaders who have been allowed to enter as well.
03:31So what is the lack of clarity, confusion? Why is Rahul Gandhi taking his time?
03:35But they're clearly there at Rajghat. The Congress Party believes this is the issue of CEC.
03:41The Congress Party thinks it may have achieved the potential to
