Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has delivered a scathing critique of the BJP, asserting that for his party, the Constitution is the nation's DNA, whereas for BJP and RSS, it amounts to a 'blank book'.
Speaking ahead of the upcoming assembly polls, Gandhi lambasted the BJP's alleged undemocratic practices, pointing specifically to incidents in Maharashtra where governments were reportedly toppled through monetary influence. He also criticized the ruling party's handling of economic policies like GST and demonetization, stating they had adverse effects on farmers and small businesses.
The Congress scion further remarked on the insignificance given to public elections by the BJP, implying that industrialists, not the electorate, have marketed the Prime Minister. He accused BJP of attempting to tarnish his image because of his advocacy for marginalized communities.
