This will be followed by a symbolic march of around 1.25km from Ramlila Maidan through Chaura Rasta to Tripolia Gate.On Wednesday, Jaipur MP and programme coordinator Manju Sharma took stock of the preparations. She said the party had set a target of mobilising more than 10,000 people for the event.Sharma accused Congress of misleading voters over SIR, saying the exercise was aimed at protecting eligible voters’ rights and ensuring reliable electoral rolls.“The Jaipur march is part of the BJP’s nationwide ‘Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy’ campaign,” she said.The BJP has assigned responsibilities to office-bearers at the assembly constituency, mandal and ward levels to ensure participation. Mandal presidents, councillors, councillor candidates and ward in-charges have been tasked with mobilising workers from their respective areas. The party is expecting participation from across Jaipur, with organisational teams coordinating the mobilisation.The march comes at a time when the city is witnessing increased activity ahead of Diwali. The route passes through parts of the walled city where markets are expected to remain busy with festive shoppers.“Although the BJP has kept the march route relatively short, the participation of a large number of people could affect traffic movement and access to markets during the festive shopping period,” said a stakeholder who wished not to be quoted.
