Developments: 2. The Indian National Congress has initiated a series of protests in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, targeting various local and economic grievances. Initial demonstrations focused on urban infrastructure and alleged municipal corruption. Following a road subsidence that created a 20-foot deep pit in the Gadi Adda area, party members performed a symbolic ‘dedication’ of the hole to Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav. Other protests involved activists sitting on unrepaired, mud-filled service roads to demand investigations into development work quality. Subsequent actions shifted toward economic issues, specifically rising inflation. Under the direction of State Congress President Jitu Patwari, activists held demonstrations across 24 city blocks. In a symbolic gesture at Rajwada, workers distributed sugar and paneer to highlight the increasing costs of essential food items. Protesters also targeted the rising prices of petrol, gas, and electricity, while raising concerns regarding the impact of ethanol blending on fuel costs and vehicle mileage. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-27: Congress protests inflation in Indore with symbolic food distribution Congress activists in Indore held protests against rising inflation, symbolically distributing sugar and paneer to highlight the increasing costs of essential goods and fuel. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/congress-protests-inflation-in-indore-with-symbolic-food-distribution ### 2026-08-26: Indore: Congress protests over road subsidence and poor infrastructure Congress leaders in Indore have staged protests, including symbolic demonstrations and sit-ins, to demand urgent repairs for subsided and mud-filled roads caused by alleged municipal negligence. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indore-congress-protests-over-road-subsidence-and-poor-infrastructure --- Cite as: Congress party protests in Indore.
