Priyanka Gandhi Vadra: “BJP want to weaken the democracy and people of the nation”

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asserted on Saturday that over the past decade, the BJP has exerted pressure on all institutions to maintain silence, aiming to undermine the country’s democratic foundation.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra addressed a rally in Valsad and said, “They (BJP) want to weaken the democracy and people of the nation. Institutions that protect your rights be it media have been weakened. Media used to ask us every day but nothing of that sort is happening today.”

Priyanka Gandhi called the “dangerous” trend of BJP leader Anantkumar Hegde’s comments about “rewriting the constitution” into question.

“You must have seen, the BJP leaders have said that they want to change the Constitution, and PM Modi contradicts that statement. This is a dangerous trend. This constitution has given you all the rights, then what’s the need to change it?” she questioned.

She continued by criticizing the BJP for allegedly “targeting” opposition figures.

“PM Modi is weakening the democracy. He is attacking the opposition daily. He froze Congress’ bank accounts. Two Chief Ministers are in jail, my brother (Rahul Gandhi) was also almost kicked out of Parliament. 150 members were suspended in the Winter session recently, only Modiji is honest,” she stated.

In Gujarat’s third phase, set for May 7, 2024, all 25 out of the province’s 26 seats will be contested in a single round. In Surat, BJP candidate Mukesh Dalal secured victory unopposed. Nilesh Kumbhani, the Congress candidate, faced disqualification of his nomination papers as three of his proposers stated in an affidavit to the district election commissioner that they had not signed the form.

The third phase will encompass constituencies from Kutch, Banaskantha, Patan, Mehsana, Sabarkantha, Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad East, Ahmedabad West, Surendranagar, Rajkot, Porbandar, Jamnagar, Vadodara, Chhota Udaipur, Bharuch, Bardoli, Navsari, and Valsad.
