    Karnal, Nov 5 (PTI) Hundreds of people joined Amit Shah on Thursday as the Union home minister led the BJP's 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' march in Haryana’s Karnal.

    The march began from Sector 12 and will culminate at the Dayanand Chowk, where Shah and other senior BJP leaders will address a public rally, party sources said.

    Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Union minister and Karnal MP Manohar Lal, state BJP chief Archana Gupta, the party’s Haryana in-charge Smriti Irani and several state ministers walked along side Shah, as BJP workers and supporters joined the march in large numbers, waving the tricolour.

    The 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' (Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy) campaign comes amid an ongoing political confrontation between the BJP and the opposition parties over allegations of electoral irregularities and the functioning of democratic institutions.

    On November 1, the INDIA bloc held a 'Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao' protest at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan, where opposition leaders accused the Centre of electoral irregularities and demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar.

    On Monday, Shah had led a 'Loktantra Bachao’ march in Hyderabad, where he launched a blistering counterattack on the INDIA bloc over its “vote chori” charge.
