Bengaluru, Oct 10 (UNI) Karnataka Minister UT Khader on Saturday said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's initiative had inspired young people to join the protest against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, as the Opposition intensified its campaign over alleged irregularities in the electoral process.
"Rahul Gandhi ji’s initiative inspired youth and people across the country to join the fight, bringing more political parties, including INDIA bloc allies and the CJP, into the protest. This is a matter of public concern, and we must stand united," Khader said reacting to protests.
Khader's remarks underline the Congress' attempt to mobilise young people around its allegations concerning electoral transparency and accountability, with the party and other Opposition groups stepping up their criticism of the Election Commission of India.
