Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy, DK Shivakumar, along with other party leaders, were also present at the rally, which was held to protest the alleged vote theft.
Tight police security measures have been implemented around Freedom Park, where the protest is taking place.
Earlier in the day, doubling down on his 'vote theft' claim, Rahul Gandhi said that times would change and punishment would surely be meted out to those who were involved in the "scam".
Karnataka CM Siddaramiah endorsed his leader's comments calling for the protests on Friday, "The 2024 election was manipulated to keep BJP in power."
During his rally, Rahul Gandhi alleges that, "When people are questioning EC based on our data, it has shut its website."
