Leaders of the INDIA Alliance, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Yogendra Yadav, staged a massive protest march in central Delhi, moving from Connaught Place and Barakhamba Road towards the Mandi House Circle and the Supreme Court. The Delhi Police barricaded Bhagwan Das Road to halt the growing crowd of protesters squatting on the streets. According to police communication, only an eight-member delegation accompanying Rahul Gandhi will be permitted to proceed to the Supreme Court's Registrar General's office to file a petition, while the remaining protesters will be restrained at the barricades.

00:00uh maria if you can hear me the bus seemingly now taking a u-turn and are they going back
00:07is what remains to be seen but uh or are they going to try and walk from here on over
00:12to
00:13you maria okay we don't seem to have maria but you see that the views coming in from
00:21that bus mr karga right up front then all of them waiting up to the crowd and see neha
00:31bora two days had made the cannot place uh the center of protest what brings you here
00:37i'm a reporter you're a reporter are you also a reporter okay and a basic show of strength
00:46yogendra yadav as well right at the back of what i can catch in other leaders other leaders
00:52of the india alliance the bus is making a u-turn but this is nothing short of a show of
00:57strength
00:57uh by the india alliance what is the political messaging that they intend to uh you know
01:04dispense because shriya do you have an understanding they were supposed to maybe get down at a function
01:11of barakamba road which links cp uh you know to barakamba road but the bus now taking a u-turn
01:18do you understand what's happening what is the plan
01:30well they will be walking by foot then they will be reaching to the mandi house circle
01:35straight from where i am right now this is the road that will be leading to the supreme court
01:40now what my sources are telling right now the uh protesters will be requested to stop over here
01:47the delhi police has got a communication that if rahul gandhi wants to go to supreme court
01:54an eight member team will be allowed to go but the entire bunch of protesters will not be allowed
02:01from this very point any forward so this is the first barricade at bhagwanda road where they will
02:07be stopped protesters already sitting on the road difficult for delhi police to contain the crowd
02:13but the message to the uh police is that if uh rahul gandhi wants to go to the supreme court
02:20to file a
02:21petition that's well within their right because he'll be going to the registrar general's office
02:25but only an eight member delegation will be allowed but the protesters the crowd that you see will be
02:32stopped at this very point
02:40all right so where you are right now but you know seemingly shred the crowds uh are quite a bit
02:47and i would think this has been the biggest show of strength for the congress party and other india
02:51alliance members that we've seen in the recent past so to manage the kind of crowds that they are right
02:58now uh is will be seemingly impossible
03:06but pretty the reason i say that this will be difficult to contain the crowd because there is a
03:11very visible difference in the kind of deployment that i have been seeing on the part of delhi police
03:16now listen the last three days this entire area of central delhi was turned into a fortress
03:21the number of boots on the ground was crazy but definitely the delhi police knows that the visual
03:27wouldn't be nice if member of parliaments are marching and there is that amount of deployment
03:32so the deployment is somewhere down the line very few if i compare it with the kind of crowd that
03:38has
03:38gathered you can look around me people have already squatted on the road they are already sitting on the
03:44road this is something i'm interrupting you and you're right because the kind of deployment
03:49is very very less so they're especially if you compare it to the last two days i'm cutting you
03:54short and the reason why is
03:55you
