Congress Chief Kharge Attacks BJP at Sasaram Rally, Says Constitution is in Danger

Addressing an India गठबंधन (Alliance) rally in Sasaram, Bihar, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge strongly criticized the BJP and the RSS. Kharge stated that the votes, rights, and freedom of the people are not safe until the BJP is removed from power, and that the Constitution is under threat. He also accused the RSS of opposing the country’s freedom. Kharge asserted that while Prime Minister Modi claims the RSS has served the nation for 100 years, the truth is that the RSS opposed the country’s freedom movement. He added that people with RSS ideology assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, and the RSS contributed nothing to the freedom struggle. Instead, RSS members sought forgiveness and employment from the British by writing letters. Kharge highlighted that the right to vote is given to all citizens by the Constitution, with Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar playing a significant role in it. He also mentioned that 65 lakh voters’ names were removed from the voter list in Bihar and accused the BJP of electoral malpractices. Kharge mentioned the Supreme Court’s order was disregarded, and the Chief Justice was removed and replaced by a central minister in the selection committee for the Chief Election Commissioner. Kharge announced that Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Voter Rights Yatra’ is starting from Sasaram and will cover 1,300 km in 16 days, passing through 20 districts, concluding on September 1 at the historic Gandhi Maidan.
