Rahul Gandhi is expected to participate in an opposition protest in Patna on July 9 against the Election Commission's electoral roll revision in Bihar. The "Chakka jam" protest, organized by the INDIA bloc, aims to oppose the special intensive revision of electoral rolls, which the opposition alleges is a conspiracy to disenfranchise the poor. The RJD and other allies will also participate. The protest coincides with a nationwide strike called by Left-affiliated trade unions. The Congress plans further agitation depending on the success of the initial protest.
