‘BJP fears people’s verdict’

Metro India News | Hyderabad 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always wanted to capture power using divisive tactics taken from the imperialist British playbook. The BJP has tried to divide Indians on basis of religion, caste, region and language. They have also misused Central agencies as a threat to weaken opposition and stifle and weaken institutions. 

Now that defeat is imminent the country is being divides into two major camps - those who have the right to vote and those whose vote they want to steal. BJP is afraid of the poor people who have turned against them - the subaltern - Dalits, tribals, OBCs and minorities. Hence, they want to take away their vote.

Today, if they take away the vote of 13 crore or more citizens - at a time when the population of the country is growing, it will be the single largest disenfranchisement exercise on planet earth. It is more than the population of many a country. We are setting up a strange context where after number of voters has gone up in every single election in India since 1952, including last three General elections when Modi came to power, the total number of voters in India will come down for next polls.

But the people of India won’t allow it. This is not a fight of Congress party alone or even INDIA alliance but of our country’s future. Our party was formed to get Independence for India, not for power. We ensured India became free and every Indian for a vote. Today, if government can illegally steal the vote of people, tomorrow all their rights, including reservations and fundamental rights will be snatched away.

India will stand for the right of every Indian to vote. No force on earth can stop. Either the BJP sacks CEC Gyanesh Kumar and reverses the SIR exercise and restores the vote of every citizen, or it will be consigned to the dustbin of Indian political history.
