A massive protest march led by INDIA bloc leaders and youth cadres moved through Bhagwan Das Road and entered Barakhamba Road in central Delhi, crossing multiple police barricades. Demonstrators, including Congress and Left party youth wings, held a Delhi Chalo protest over alleged issues with the Special Intensive Revision and voting rights, demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. Demonstrators climbed atop Delhi Police vehicles waving national and party flags. Despite heavy security deployments, including Rapid Action Force and paramilitary personnel, the march advanced towards submitting a petition to the Chief Election Commissioner and heading towards the Supreme Court.

00:02Right behind me, you can see on that bus is Dipinder Huda and other Congress leaders who have gotten onto
00:09that police bus and they are raising slogans, using their flag, tricolor, that they are, you know, and you can
00:17see them.
00:17Now, right next to them is that vehicle which has the entire India Bloc leadership. Now that bus is actually
00:27moving ahead on the Bhagwan Das Road, even as we say that the point of confrontation is only getting moved
00:33or pushed away.
00:34It is becoming clear that the police is allowing them to cross all barricades and that this Bhagwan Das Road
00:41that is seeing a sudden surge of the supporters of the India Bloc is also seeing images such as that
00:49that we saw where Dipinder Huda and others had gotten on to the top of the Delhi police vehicle.
00:57And the march of the India Bloc is continuing. It's going to reach Barakamba Road. Thereafter, they would be now
01:05heading to petition the chief justice at the Supreme Court.
01:10That will be a group of 10 leaders is the sense that you're getting. So you can see the CPI
01:15flags right ahead of me. Behind me are the Congress flags.
01:22The message is clear that this is a group which is being supported by the youth cadres of both the
01:31political parties, the left parties and also of the Congress Party as they move ahead on this Bhagwan Das Road
01:38close to now.
01:41This is the Barakamba Road that we are looking at. The camera person can show now the board of Barakamba
01:46Road, which is now evident that they have entered Barakamba Road.
01:50This protest of India Bloc has entered the Barakamba Road. What began as a Dilli Chalo Andolan or a Dilli
01:58Chalo protest being supported by AISF, supported by Youth Wing and others are now getting support also of some youth
02:09who are also marching along with...
02:13You are from where? What's your name?
02:16I'm not from Congress. I'm just a voter of this country.
02:20You have covered your face?
02:22Yeah, because I don't want to lose my job.
02:24Oh, you don't want to lose your job? What do you...
02:27I'm not going to ask where you work because you don't want to lose your job, but what brings you
02:31here?
02:31So basically my constitutional rights and the love for my country.
02:37Okay. Why do you say constitutional rights?
02:40Because voting is my right and frankly speaking by this SIR and all, they are literally snatching my vote.
02:48And protests of this kind will help you register that concern with regards to your constitutional rights?
02:54Yeah, definitely it will help. Although we all know that when it comes to the CEC, it is not easy
03:00to like get his resignation or something which is like,
03:04that he is not so easy to get rid of it. But still, at least we are showing our resistance
03:08and at the end we are talking about that Sinha San Khali Karo is coming.

03:34Even as we see a group of lawyers on the other side, right here, who are all watching what is
03:42playing out here, what is playing out here.
03:46And remember the bus which has the India Bloc leaders have all started moving as the crowd ahead of them
03:55marches slowly and slowly towards where their final point would be.
04:02And then the petition to the CEC will happen. So no confrontation. Yes, there are precautionary measures having been taken
04:12by Delhi police where they have deployed the Rapid Action Force and, you know, multiple paramilitary forces.
04:20But all these certainly is not stopping the India Bloc from going ahead. They have crossed multiple barricades already.
04:28Friti, over to you. Where exactly are you?
