Democracy has defeated ‘anarchy’: Ravi Shankar
BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad declared on Saturday that efforts to instigate anarchy had proven unsuccessful. He emphasized that governance in India would be conducted through Parliament rather than through street demonstrations. Prasad made these statements as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) organized protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi.
He emphasized that India's democracy had triumphed over the pursuit of anarchy, noting that the country would be governed through Parliament, not the streets. Prasad reiterated that while protests were a part of a democratic nation, the Opposition was weaponizing street protests due to electoral setbacks and failing to unify.
Prasad addressed the BJP's electoral success in Assam, Nandigram, and Puducherry, stating that these victories occurred during an alleged anarchy movement in Delhi and other regions. He defended the government's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, an action that has been carried out over nine times in the past and is legally mandated.
He questioned the objections to the process, asking why the names of deceased voters, individuals who have left their constituencies, or those registered in multiple locations should remain on the electoral rolls.
