Congress claims Rahul Gandhi's Satyagraha platform logs 30,000 protests in two days

Maharashtra Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal on Monday claimed that the 'Satyagraha' digital platform launched by party MP Rahul Gandhi had recorded nearly 30,000 protests and agitations across the country within two days.

Sapkal said the platform was intended to provide a unified voice to issue-based protests and help people seek solutions to their grievances.

"The website has not even completed 48 hours, and nearly 30,000 agitations and satyagrahas from across the country have been registered on it," he claimed.

Gandhi launched the platform on Saturday, a day after the 157th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, urging people to register their protests against the government and said it would help people wherever truth was being suppressed.

Asked about a two-day protest by Maharashtra farmers in Delhi beginning Monday, Sapkal said the platform was aimed at bringing together agitations taking place across the country.

"This indicates people's anger against the BJP government; people are fed up with this government. On the other hand, authoritarianism is rising in the country," Sapkal alleged.
