The full story
On November 3, 2026, hundreds of members and leaders from the BJP and its student wing ABVP held marches in Jharkhand, with a specific event taking place in Giridih. Organised to counter what leaders described as a false narrative by the Congress and the INDIA bloc regarding democracy and electoral roll updates, the Giridih march began at Jhanda Maidan and covered a distance of approximately 300 metres before concluding at Tower Chowk. Prominent figures such as state BJP president Aditya Sahu, Leader of Opposition Babulal Marandi, and former state president Ravindra Rai participated. Speakers alleged that the opposition was attempting to protect infiltrators by criticizing voter list revisions under the guise of a 'Save Vote' campaign, while highlighting the welfare initiatives of the Modi government. No official police or government counter-response was reported regarding law enforcement actions.
