The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday criticised Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his barb that the 2024 polls will be the “last election” in India if Prime Minister Narendra Modi is re-elected, stating that it was in fact “dynastic politics in the name of democracy” that was at an end and that “true democracy” was in the offing.
Mr. Kharge had, while addressing a rally in Bhubhaneswar on Monday, expressed apprehensions that the 2024 Lok Sabha election would be the last opportunity for the people to save democracy, and that “if Narendra Modi wins another election”, there will be dictatorship in the country. “The BJP will rule India like Putin in Russia,” he had said at the rally.
Speaking at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi responded to the barb saying, “Dynastic politics under the garb of democracy is coming to an end, and they are wondering what will be their future.”
