Priyanka Gandhi calls Modi-Shah rule a 'dictatorship'
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi accused the Modi-Shah government of turning India into a dictatorship, as thousands of protesters opposing Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar were detained by the Delhi Police. In a social media post, Gandhi stated that the government was violating the Constitution and targeting those who protested.
She alleged that 254 MPs had been illegally detained, infringing their constitutional rights, and claimed Opposition party protesters faced similar treatment. Gandhi highlighted the imposition of security measures, including barricades, checkpoints, internet cuts, and arrests of representatives from various political parties, including Mamata Banerjee, Pinarayi Vijayan, Manik Sarkar, and John Brittas.
The Congress MP questioned whether these actions were an attempt to cheat the elections and avoid accountability for the government's illegitimacy.
