NEW DELHI: Days after some traders raised concerns about the impact on business of ‘Chalo Delhi’ rally on Nov 1, Congress’s Rahul Gandhi urged the traders to ask PM Narendra Modi to sack CEC Gyanesh Kumar to end the protests against ‘vote chori’.Rahul posted on X, “To every trader in Delhi: We love you and hear you. Government shut the metro, sealed the roads and locked down our capital. With a stolen vote, nothing is safe — your shop, savings, children’s future. Tell Modi to sack Gyanesh Kumar and the protests will stop in 30 seconds.”
