New Delhi: The battle for power in the country's politics seems to be intensifying on the streets. While the Congress-led INDIA alliance is going to hold a rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on November 1, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is also set to respond to the opposition through padyatras from the same day. These padyatras of the BJP will continue throughout the month of November, in which many Union Ministers, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Ministers of states and senior leaders of the organization will participate.
The ruling party and opposition will face each other on the streets.
Congress is constantly opening a front against the government over SIR, paper leak and other issues. Several Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, were detained during the protests. Apart from this, demonstrations have also been held from time to time under the banner of Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). Now the political heat has increased regarding the November 1 rally of the opposition.
The BJP's padyatras are being seen as a response to the opposition's strategy in this political environment. The party is trying to maintain its political edge through the activism of its organisation and supporters amid growing opposition protests on the streets.
Amit Shah to address rallies in several states

Political tussle over November 1 date, eye on Sikh community
In this whole development, the date of November 1 is also at the center of political debate. The INDIA alliance has announced a rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on the same day. The Congress has targeted the BJP on the issue. The party says holding the rally on the anniversary of the November 1, 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom raises the question of sensitivity to the sentiments of the Sikh community.
The BJP has been planning to take the Sikh community along from day one. Its activities, especially in Punjab, are being seen in this political context. The party will try to corner the Congress by raising the issue of 1984 anti-Sikh violence and strengthen its political message among the Sikh community.
Focus on election states, preparing to show public support
The BJP's focus is likely to be on Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab. The plan is to energise the workers and give momentum to the mass contact campaign by deploying senior leaders of the organisation and ministers in these states. The party will also try to strengthen its political presence through padyatras in other states, including Goa.
Overall, from the beginning of November, the country's politics may see a new round of show of strength on the street. While the Congress and the INDIA alliance are gearing up to corner the government through protests and rallies, the BJP is moving ahead with a strategy to respond through padyatras and mass contact. Now the focus will be on which party gets more public support in these programs and in what direction this street political fight takes the upcoming political equations.
