Delhi AAP chief Saurabh Bharadwaj dropped a bombshell on social media, accusing the BJP of turning India’s democracy into a fortress of fear by deploying police and intelligence agencies against the common man.
A stark video from the revered Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi serves as exhibit A: broken steps ignored, locals muted by the mere presence of secret agents recording dissenters. Bharadwaj described this as the hallmark of a ‘police state’ in making.
The pattern repeats elsewhere. In Noida, following engineer Yuvraj’s death, police are reportedly strong-arming witnesses to recant and support the establishment’s story—a perversion of due process.
Sambhal offers another outrage: a judge punished with transfer for filing an FIR against an officer lionized by the BJP. Bharadwaj slammed this as proof that select police enjoy god-like status, free to bully the populace.
“Rule by fear is antithetical to democracy,” Bharadwaj proclaimed. His critique arrives amid rising concerns over institutional overreach, positioning AAP as a vocal defender of civil liberties.
With detailed examples and unyielding rhetoric, Bharadwaj’s expose compels a national reckoning on power, policing, and the precious right to speak truth to authority.
