Democracy in the country is in danger and it is the duty of the people to fight the forces that are hell bent on taking the country towards autocracy, remarked Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
Speaking at the Congress party’s Vijaya Bheri public meeting organised by the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee at Tukkuguda on the city outskirts on Sunday, Mr.Gehlot said there was threat to even the Constitution. He stated that the people of the region fondly referred to former prime minister Indira Gandhi as Indiramma and Sonia Gandhi as Soniamma as they were aware of the fact that the family had always stood for interests of the country and never hesitated to make sacrifices.
Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh Sukhvinder Singh Sukku said the Congress had given statehood to Telangana knowing well that then chief minister of combined Andhra Pradesh was against it. However, Sonia Gandhi had decided to respect the decades-long demand of the region’s people even at the cost of losing power in A.P.
