RSS-backed BJP govt has no respect for democracy: Mallikarjun Kharge

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-backed BJP government at the Union is not functioning as per the Constitution, said Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, who is contesting the election for the AICC president’s post.

Narendra Modi government has no respect for democracy and it destabilised the Congress-ruled governments in Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Maharashtra and Manipur, the senior Congress leader said.

A strong opposition was needed to fight the BJP government in the country for strengthening democracy, he claimed.

The BJP has been dividing the society on religious lines and ignoring real issues such as inflation, unemployment, sliding of rupee against dollar, Kharge said.

Kharge was at the party office in Karnataka to seek votes on elections scheduled on October 17.

The AICC presidential elections are scheduled to be held on Monday. Mallikarjun Kharge and Shashi Tharoor are in the fray for the top post in the Congress party.
