Congress Accuses BJP of Stifling Democracy

The Congress has accused the BJP of undermining parliamentary democracy by frequently disrupting sessions over minor issues and avoiding accountability for its governance failures. Congress general secretary K C Venugopal emphasized the need for BJP to address economic crises, social tensions, and welfare state issues, urging parliamentary discussions instead of disruptions.

The Congress party has launched a scathing critique of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing it of 'murdering' parliamentary democracy. The accusation centers around the BJP's alleged tendency to disrupt parliamentary proceedings over trivial issues.

In a recent social media post, Congress general secretary K C Venugopal demanded that the BJP address pressing matters such as the mounting economic crisis, increasing social tensions, and the perceived collapse of the welfare state. Venugopal criticized the government for allegedly avoiding difficult questions and avoiding discussions on important ministry affairs.

This political friction unfolded as both houses of Parliament were adjourned due to protests over DMK members wearing slogan-bearing T-shirts in the parliamentary sessions, leading to yet another day of halted proceedings.
