Congress is observing ‘save democracy day’ across the country today to protest against Vala’s decision to invite Yeddyurappa to form the government in that state.<\/p>\n
Chavan joined Mumbai Regional Congress Committee president Sanjay Nirupam and party workers at the protest near the ‘Amar Jawan Jyoti’.<\/p>\n
