Situations in India refers to Pakistan says Rahul Gandhi

The BJP is celebrating its victory in Karnataka as the 24^th Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa swore-in today.

While celebrations are going on one side, Rahul Gandhi is criticizing the party.

Addressing a ‘Jan Swaraj Sammelan’ on the occasion of the silver jubilee of 73rd and 74th amendment in the Constitution related to local self-governance, Gandhi accused the BJP and the RSS of capturing every democratic institution in the country. 

The Congress President said, “RSS is making its way into all institutions in the country. Aisa Pakistan ya tanashahi mein hota hai (Such things happen either in Pakistan or in an autocratic regime).” 

Referring the press conference called by Supreme Court judges on various issues relating to the apex court judiciary earlier this year, Gandhi said, “The judiciary is under fear, the press is under fear and even the BJP’s members of Parliament are under the same fear as they cannot speak a single word before the prime minister (Narendra Modi).”

“The Constitution is under severe attack in the country. In Karnataka, the MLAs are on one side and the governor on the other,” he alleged, adding, 

“One after another, you can see every democratic institution in the country, like the MPs, MLAs, the press and the Planning Commission…the RSS is trying to induct its people.” 

This happens against the background of the political drama that took place in Karnataka. Although Yeddyurappa has sworn in, he has 15 days to prove his majority in the Assembly.

Prior to his address in Raipur, Gandhi, in a tweet, had hit out at the BJP:

The BJP’s irrational insistence that it will form a Govt. in Karnataka, even though it clearly doesn’t have the numbers, is to make a mockery of our Constitution.

This morning, while the BJP celebrates its hollow victory, India will mourn the defeat of democracy.

Siddaramaiah also expressed his anger over the swearing-in of Yeddyurappa and said, “The matter is pending before the Court. We will go to the people and we will tell them how BJP is going against the Constitution.”
