The full story

On November 1, 2026, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held a 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' protest march in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. This event was part of a nationwide series of demonstrations organised to counter the INDIA bloc's rally in New Delhi, which targeted Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral irregularities. In Shimla, the march was led by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and attended by BJP MP Anurag Thakur. Participants marched to Chaura Maidan, where a rally was held. BJP leaders used the platform to criticise Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, questioning his stance on election results and accusing the Opposition of spreading anarchy. No official government response was required as the protest was organised by the ruling party.
