Current Summary
The Bharatiya Janata Party has announced that Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address a public rally at Parade Ground in Dehradun on November 6. BJP state president and Rajya Sabha member Mahendra Bhatt said more than 25,000 party workers from Dehradun, Rishikesh and Haridwar districts are expected to attend, which he said would exceed turnout at a recent opposition INDIA bloc rally held in Delhi against alleged 'vote chori' (vote theft). Bhatt said the Dehradun rally is part of the BJP's nationwide 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' campaign, with events planned at five locations across Uttarakhand.
