New Delhi, 23 November 2025 — The Congress party is gearing up for a massive political show of strength against the SIR (Special Initiative for Reforms) scheme announced by the central government. The party has begun preparations for a large-scale rally at Ramlila Maidan on December 14, signalling a major confrontation with the ruling BJP.
Congress Prepares for a Mega Political Event
Senior Congress leaders revealed that the rally will highlight what they call the “anti-people” aspects of the SIR policy. The party plans to mobilize:
- Workers from Delhi and adjoining states
- Youth and student organizations
- Trade unions
- Social groups aligned with the party
The rally is expected to be one of Congress’ biggest public outreach events this year.
What Congress Says
According to party sources, the SIR policy could negatively impact:
- Social welfare schemes
- Middle-class economic planning
- Employment sectors
- Public spending priorities
Congress alleges that the reforms are designed to benefit corporates while hurting common citizens.
The event will feature speeches by top national leaders who will outline the party’s alternative policy approach.
BJP Hits Back
Reacting to the announcement, the BJP accused Congress of “fearmongering and misleading the public.”
BJP leaders stated that:
- The SIR initiative aims to modernize India’s governance structure
- Congress is attempting to create unnecessary panic
- Political rallies will not stop reforms meant for national development
The BJP claimed that the opposition is trying to regain lost political space through protests.
Political Temperature Rising Ahead of the Rally
With both parties exchanging sharp statements, the December 14 event is expected to set the tone for a heated political season. Security and logistical planning for the rally are already underway in Delhi.
