All India Congress Committee president M. Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday said that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi is elected to office again, he will become “a dictator” and there will not be any elections thereafter.
Addressing a State-level convention of the Congress leaders and elected representatives here, Mr. Kharge said the Congress was the only party that could protect democracy as enshrined in the Constitution. Mr. Kharge alleged that the Prime Minister wants to control every institution in the country and has been destroying their autonomous status one by one.
He told party cadres to ensure victory of the Congress candidates in the forthcoming elections, otherwise Mr. Modi would grow stronger. He was confident that the party would win 20 seats in Karnataka this time, he said. Upon watching the success of Karnataka government’s five promises, Mr. Modi had begun releasing advertisements on “Modi guarantees”, he chided.
