Delhi Traders Request Rahul Gandhi to Postpone November 1 INDIA Bloc Rally Over Diwali Concerns
Delhi traders, represented by bodies like the Federation of Sadar Bazar Trades Association and the Chamber of Trade and Industry, have urged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to postpone the INDIA bloc's November 1 rally at Ramlila Maidan. They cite concerns that the rally could disrupt business during the crucial Diwali festive season, affecting customer footfall, goods movement, and livelihoods. BJP leader Nitin Nabin criticized the rally's timing, linking it to political priorities over traders' interests and invoking the historical significance of November 1. Traders seek dialogue and are open to reconsidering if convinced the rally benefits business.
