Congress leader Rahul Gandhi suggested that attendees of the opposition's November 1 rally at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi should also shop at local markets.
The remark came in response to traders expressing concerns that the mega protest march during the festive season would disrupt local sales.
Gandhi dismissed rumors of economic disruption spread by the ruling party, noting that the festive calendar includes upcoming celebrations for Diwali, Chhath, and Bhai Dooj.
