In a scathing attack on the opposition INDIA bloc, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lambasted their ‘Loktantra Bachao’ rally as a guise to protect dynasty politics and corruption rather than democracy.
Speaking on Sunday, BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi denounced the opposition parties, accusing them of being steeped in corruption and controlled by family fiefdoms. “Their modus operandi is to sow communal, regional, linguistic, and caste divides to perpetuate their power and enrich their families,” Trivedi declared.
Trivedi took veiled jibes at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress, suggesting that the INDIA bloc’s rally aimed to shield corrupt practices. “These parties are flocking together to safeguard their family dynasties and corruption,” he added.
Trivedi further alleged that all INDIA bloc parties were previously opposed to the construction of the Ram Temple, insinuating that they now seek to use the rally platform to divert attention from their past transgressions.
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla criticized AAP directly, insinuating that their rally was an attempt to evade accountability for corruption charges. “This is not about saving democracy; they are trying to shield their corruption,” Poonawalla asserted.
Shaina NC, another BJP leader, defended the actions of investigative agencies against corruption allegations. “If the opposition is corrupt, why shouldn’t agencies take appropriate action?” she questioned, highlighting the legitimacy of investigations such as the recent arrests related to the liquor scam.
Meanwhile, Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, Sunita Kejriwal, is expected to convey a message from the former Delhi Chief Minister at the rally. Additionally, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge are slated to address the event, indicating a broader opposition alliance against the BJP’s accusations.
The rally underscores the escalating political tensions in India, with accusations and counter-accusations flying between the ruling party and the opposition amidst allegations of corruption and dynastic politics.
