Following the conclusion of the INDIA bloc's mega rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan, the Bharatiya Janata Party mounted a counter-offensive against the opposition. The BJP scheduled a press conference featuring national spokesperson Sambit Patra to rebut allegations raised by Rahul Gandhi, who demanded the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. Concurrently, BJP national president Nitin Nabin criticised the opposition leaders, asserting that the political parties participating in the rally represent defeated forces from states like Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal seeking to spread anarchy out of frustration. The BJP also organised counter-protest marches in Delhi and Rohtak, raising the 1984 anti-Sikh riots to accuse the Congress party and its allies of ignoring historical violence against victims while staging political agitations in the national capital.

00:24BJP chief Nitin Nabeen has asserted that a victory is bona fide.
00:28BJP chief also counts mega wins in Delhi and Maharashtra.
00:32He has posted, and I quote,
00:34We defeated the Congress in Delhi and Haryana.
00:37We defeated Achilles Yadav in Uttar Pradesh.
00:39We defeated the RJD in Bihar.
00:41We defeated the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal.
00:44Today, all these defeated individuals driven by their frustration and despair seek to spread anarchy across the country.
00:52So remember, these were the parties whose party chief spoke at the Ramlila Maidan rally.
00:58And now the BJP chief has countered, saying that all these are the leaders whom the BJP has defeated in
01:04their respective states,
01:06be it West Bengal, be it Bihar, be it Uttar Pradesh, be it Haryana or Delhi.
01:11And these individuals, these defeated individuals, driven by their frustration and despair,
01:17are now seeking to spread anarchy across the country.
01:19This is what the BJP is now saying, countering these mega protests and the mega rally by the India bloc.
01:27My colleague Piyush Mishra is now joining us with more details on this.
01:31Piyush, now that the attacks by the opposition are over, the rally, the mega rally is over.
01:37And we are now expecting the rebuttal from the BJP.
01:41Meanwhile, the chief, the party chief has already countered the attacks,
01:45saying that these are the defeated individuals, the defeated leaders who were addressing the India bloc rally today.
01:51He has also mentioned every state in which the BJP has, in fact, defeated these parties
01:56who were addressing the protesters at Ramlila Maidan today.
02:27So one thing is clear that BJP will mount its attack.
02:30on Rahul Gandhi very shortly at 5 p.m., official message from BJP has come where
02:35Samit Pada will be doing such concerts.
02:37But throughout the day, we have also seen how BJP's National President,
02:41Nathir Nabi, not only addressed a rally in Rotak,
02:44but also took out Fadi Yatra with the name of Gelugtantra Bachao, Arafshan Hattao.
02:50And while addressing people there in Rotak of Haryana,
02:53BJP's President has adverted that we have defeated these politicians in various states.
02:59And now they are taking out their frustration by spreading anarchy in national capital.
03:05So BJP is of the view that it's very important to tell to the people of countries
03:10about the real facts of SIR and also bust the kind of claims those are being made
03:15by the opposition through various rallies and padhyatras.
03:19And that's what BJP is doing.
03:20And yet from now, you will also see a big press conference by Samit Pada,
03:24where he is going to rebut Rahul Gandhi point by point.
03:28Right. Piyush, there were also counter-protest marches which were organized by the BJP today
03:32in Delhi or in Rotak as you were talking about.
03:36How much of an impact did it have on the opposition's mega Ramlila Maidan rally?
03:42Well, yes, like you mentioned that, yes, there were a series of protests.
03:45Those were carried out by the BJP, not only in Rotak, but also in the national capital.
03:50Opposition is of the view that they will continue to excrete the demand of resignation of Janish Kumar
03:57irrespective of the fact BJP protests are going to them.
04:01But BJP has made a strategy.
04:02Today is number one and BJP claims that in 1994,
04:06mehem was created in Delhi in various parts of Punjab
04:11and the Sikh riots happened with the sponsored programs of the Congress Party.
04:16And instead of standing by with the victims of 1994 and the Sikh riots,
04:21Congress Party and other opposition political parties are spreading anarchy.
04:25They are doing protests in Delhi.
04:27They should have been with the victims.
04:29And that's why BJP leaders, including Harvi, Puri, Krishna, Rekha Gupta,
04:33various other MPs, all of them have protested.
04:37They took out a march in western Delhi or western part of Delhi.
04:42And not only in Delhi, but also in Rotak.
04:44They took out a rally where BJP's national president, Nitin Nabeen,
04:48took out a party at Raqi, along with various other leaders of BJP of Haryana
04:53were the part of this entire rally.
04:55So, BJP will continue to mount its attack over the kind of claims
05:00that are being made by opposition.
05:02All right, Piyush, thank you for those details.
05:05So, not just the opposition, but the BJP was also out on the streets today.
05:10There was a mega rally that was organized by the India Bloc at the Ramlila Medan.
05:15On the other hand, the BJP was also protesting against the Congress Party
05:19over the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, as well as they were also claiming
05:24that how the opposition is trying to create anarchy in India.
05:27And that is also something on which the BJP was taking out this padhyatra
05:32in the national capital, along with Rotak today.
