Delhi market traders have sent a second letter to Rahul Gandhi within four days, urging him to postpone the rally planned for 1 November, arguing that the event would impose a cost of around ₹10,000 on participants.
Delhi traders have written a second letter to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, requesting a postponement of the rally slated for 1 November. The appeal comes just four days after an earlier communication and underscores the traders' concern over the event's timing.
The traders contend that the rally would compel participants to incur expenses of roughly ₹10,000, a sum they deem burdensome for small business owners and market vendors. They warn that such financial pressure could disrupt daily trading activities and affect livelihoods.
Congress officials have not yet issued a public response to the traders' petition. The appeal arrives as the party prepares a series of rallies ahead of the upcoming general elections, aiming to mobilise support across the capital.
If the request is heeded, the rally may be rescheduled to a later date, potentially easing the economic strain on Delhi’s trading community while allowing the political campaign to proceed without commercial backlash.
