New Dehli: In a dramatic escalation of pre-election tensions, the Congress party has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of freezing its bank accounts, an action that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has described as a direct attack on the democratic framework of India. The move comes just before the Lok Sabha elections, raising concerns about the fairness and integrity of the electoral process.
During a fiery press conference, Gandhi condemned the BJP-led government's decision, calling it "orchestrated to cripple Congress before elections" and labeling it a "criminal action" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. He asserted that this move has severely hampered the Congress party's ability to campaign effectively and equated it to freezing democracy itself¹²³.
The Congress party, through its spokespersons, has vowed to challenge these actions and seek justice. They argue that such measures are unprecedented and pose a significant threat to the political balance and electoral competition in the country.
As the nation watches closely, the unfolding events have sparked a heated debate about the state of democracy in India. With the Lok Sabha elections on the horizon, the controversy surrounding the freezing of the Congress party's bank accounts has added a new layer of complexity to an already intense political battle.
