Shiv Sena, BJP Leaders Accuse Rahul Gandhi of Undermining Democracy

Representatives of the Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party seized the moment to allege that opposition leader Rahul Gandhi is deliberately tarnishing India’s democratic image and spreading hatred. Shiv Sena spokesperson Krishna Hege claimed that Gandhi’s speeches are broadcast widely on television and printed in newspapers, suggesting that the very presence of his remarks indicates a vibrant democracy. BJP leaders echoed the sentiment, asserting that Gandhi’s rhetoric aims to destabilise the government and incite communal tensions.
