Mumbai: BJP cancels 'Aakrosh Andolan' in response to tragic Buldhana bus accident

BJP leader Ashish Shelar recently utilized the platform of Twitter to make an announcement. He declared that the planned 'Aakrosh Andolan' has been called off in light of the tragic Buldhana bus accident that occurred on the Samruddhi Expressway, resulting in the unfortunate loss of lives for approximately 26 individuals who were tragically burnt alive.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had organized the Jan Aakrosh Aandolan as a response to the Shiv Sena (UBT) party, intending to hold the protest at two distinct venues. The rally was expected to involve the participation of the BJP's youth and women's wings, as well as other allied parties.
