LS Polls: Congress leader Mallikarjuna Kharge gives call to voters to chose between Democracy and Autocratcy

Kalaburagi, Apr 10 (UNI) Senior Congress leader Mallikarjuna Kharge today asked the people to choose whether they want Democracy or Autocracy in the General Election to Lok Sabha.

"If you chose for Democracy you may have to vote for Congress in this crucial election," Kharge added while addressing an election rally at Afzalpur, 60 km from here, on Wednesday.

Kharge said that “the current Lok Sabha elections was not between individual candidates, but it is a decisive battle between democratic and autocratic forces. The RSS-backed BJP and Narendra Modi want to wipe off Country's Constitution written by Baba Sab Ambedkar. The Constitution aimed at protecting the Democracy in the country and equality in the Society and social justice to one and all. . Without Constitution, India has no future."

He said backed by the RSS, Modi is making serious attempts to replace democracy with dictatorship. “If he returns to power, People belonging to Dalits, Bbackward classes, Minorities, Ttribals, working class and other oppressed and marginal communities will lose their rights under his tyrannical rule”.

Kharge said that "the BJP and Modi are enjoying the fruits of Democracy which was built by veteran Congress leaders, some of who have sacrificed their lives."

He said that “in his public speeches, Modi frequently asks what was Congress contribution in the last 70 years. If Congress had not safeguarded the Constitution and democracy, he wouldn’t have become the Prime Minister. If Congress had not initiated the Green Revolution, people would have died of starvation. If Congress had not initiated the communication revolution, India would have lagged behind other countries in communication technology. Who built all the major Rreservoirs and expanded irrigation? It was because of Congress’ vision and efforts that India became a Space power today. The only thing Modi did was press a button and send the spacecraft to Mars while the entire ground for the mission was completed during the Congress rule,” he added.
