Hitting back at the top Congress brass, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President JP Nadda said that the party is going to be totally “rejected” by the people and “fearing a historic defeat,” addressed a press conference and “ranted” against Indian democracy and institutions.
In a series of posts on X, the BJP President said, “Congress is going to be totally rejected by the people and fearing a historic defeat, their top leadership addressed a press conference and ranted against Indian democracy and institutions. They are conveniently blaming their irrelevance on ‘financial troubles’. In reality, their bankruptcy is moral and intellectual, not financial”.

His post added, “Instead of correcting their own errors, Congress is blaming authorities for their troubles. Be it the ITAT or the Delhi HC, they have asked the Congress to comply with the rules, pay the taxes due but the Party never did so”.
“For a party which has looted from every sector, in every state and at every moment of history, to talk of financial helplessness is comical. Congress can use the money accumulated from all their scams starting from jeep to chopper scam via Bofors for their electioneering,” the BJP leader said.
Hitting back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Nadda said, “Congress’ part time leaders say India being a democracy is a lie- may I humbly remind them that India was not a democracy only for a few months between 1975 and 1977 and that time the Prime Minister of India was none other than Mrs. Indira Gandhi”.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on March 21, lashed out at the Centre and asserted that there is “no democracy” in India today, alleging that the idea that India is a democracy is a lie.
“This is a criminal action on the Congress party, a criminal action done by the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. So, the idea that India is a democracy is a lie. There is no democracy in India today. The idea that India is the world’s largest democracy is a lie. A complete lie,” he said.
Led by party chief Mallikarjun Kharge, former Congress chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi held a press conference and attacked the BJP government on many issues, including the electoral bond issue and the alleged that the BJP was responsible for freezing of their bank accounts.
