New Delhi: A mega rally is being held at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan following the arrest of Delhi CM and Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal around nine months after the Opposition's rainbow coalition started taking shape, which later emerged as the Indian National Developmental Inclusive (INDI) Alliance. The rally is also seen as a show of strength and Opposition unity ahead of the crucial Lok Sabha election. While Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said that this rally was aimed at bringing the Opposition on one stage, Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren and former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav trained their guns at the Centre for misusing central agencies. From releasing Arvind Kejriwal and Hemant Soren to demanding SIT probe for electoral bonds, Congress' Priyanka Gandhi announced five demands of the INDI alliance

The Delhi Police is on alert and traffic advisory has been issued for commuters travelling to central Delhi between 9 am to 3pm. Meanwhile, BJP's Sudhanshu Trivedi has hit out on the INDI alliance ahead of the mega rally, calling it the Opposition's bid to save their corrupt empire and not democracy.

• PM Modi trying to do match-fixing in Lok Sabha polls: Rahul Gandhi

The BJP on Sunday hit back at Rahul Gandhi over his "match-fixing" accusation against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that the Congress government in the past handed over Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka clinching a "deal" with the neighbouring country to benefit the party's first family. The BJP's reaction came after Gandhi accused Prime Minister Modi of trying to do "match-fixing" in the Lok Sabha polls and asserted that if the BJP succeeds in its endeavours, the country's Constitution will be changed and people's rights taken away. Addressing a press conference here, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla also slammed the Congress over Gandhi's claim that the entire country will be on fire if the saffron party returns to power and the Constitution is changed, saying that divisive politics is in the "DNA" of the main opposition. The Congress did not hesitate to even allow the country's partition on the lines of religion in 1947 leaving a portion of Jammu and Kashmir under Pakistan's occupation, he charged.
