Political tempers flare in Delhi as BJP MP Babu Ram Nishad labels Congress’s Digvijay Singh ‘disheartened and desperate’ for decrying democracy’s demise—blaming it on Modi’s unstoppable progress wave.
Singh articulated fears over eroding interfaith amity forged after independence and partition. Radical forces, he alleged, are igniting religious hatred, pitting communities against each other and imperiling national harmony.
Nishad flips the script: Singh’s dismay arises from policies funneling gains to villages, impoverished families, farmers, and toilers. ‘Budget after budget has revolutionized India, burying Congress’s divisive strategies—casteism, sops, regional biases, landlordism,’ he asserted.
BJP MP Gulam Ali Khatana lambasted Congress’s riot legacy, dismissing Singh’s preachings. Regarding Rahul Gandhi’s China-triggered House melee, he advocated propriety: ‘LoP Gandhi must embody decorum. His conduct shapes others; violations erode parliamentary sanctity.’
Amidst the clash, BJP touts tangible advancements under Modi, contrasting Congress’s gloom. As elections loom, development emerges as the decisive metric, sidelining outdated alarmism.
