BJNY draws to close: Congress urges people to defeat Modi to save democracy

MUMBAI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge cautioned people that if Modi was not defeated this time, it would be the end of democracy and there would be no more elections in India.

Addressing a mammoth rally here today, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge warned that this would be the last election if Modi is not defeated. He said the way Modi was behaving, he was taking the country towards dictatorship.

He pointed out that Modi does not even talk about his party the BJP, but talks only of and about himself. Modi believes that India became independent in 2014 and his counting also begins from 2014 only, Kharge remarked, while taking a jibe at the Prime Minister.

He said if Modi is not defeated now, it will be the return to Manuvad and the same slavery and back to pre-1947 days when nobody had any rights.

The Congress president said that while the INDIA alliance is working for the entire country and the common people, Modi’s guarantees were for a select few super-rich people. He said, under Modi’s regime the rich were getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

Kharge reiterated the five commitments for justice of participation, for farmers, for youth, for workers, and for women followed by twenty-five guarantees, which will be implemented once the INDIA government is formed at the center.

The Congress president congratulated Rahul Gandhi for carrying out the Bharat Jodo Yatra and Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in which he traveled a distance of over ten thousand kilometers, about half of it on foot, and met millions of people across the country.

Kharge also thanked the INDIA leadership and promised that together they all will work for the welfare of the common man of the country and defeat the BJP and Modi.
