India: Bharatiya Janata Party to rally at various district headquarters across Rajasthan State March 15-30
Bharatiya Janata Party to rally at various district headquarters in Rajasthan State, India, March 15-30. Increased security likely.
Event
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will rally at various district headquarters across Rajasthan State March 15-30 to denounce the current state government led by the Indian National Congress (INC). While organizers did not immediately announce specific assembly points, typical rally sites include political party offices, prominent government buildings, public squares, and major thoroughfares. Previous similar BJP rallies have attracted hundreds of participants.
Authorities will likely increase security near such gathering sites and may attempt to forcibly disperse overly disruptive groups of protesters. Clashes between activists and police, as well as among members of rival political groups, cannot be ruled out. Demonstrators may march along or block roadways, prompting localized transport disruptions. Localized business disruptions are possible.
Advice
Avoid all demonstrations as a standard security precaution. If clashes break out, depart the area immediately and seek shelter in a secure nongovernmental building. Allow additional time to reach destinations near protest locations. Plan accordingly for possible localized business disruptions. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
