Civil society organisations on Friday took a stand saying they wanted to see a change of guard both in the State and at the Centre.
“Bharat Jodo Abhiyaan has been working as a civil society platform to ensure that India remains a democracy, that our Constitution is protected, and that the rights and equality of all people and communities are upheld,” said Yogendra Yadav, national convener of Bharat Jodo Abhiyaan.
“This can happen only when BJP and its allies (open and hidden) are defeated in the Lok Sabha elections next year and the upcoming Assembly elections in Telangana. Hundreds of senior social activists and movement leaders are part of this platform,” he said at a press conference in Hyderabad.
