Rubbishing Opposition charge that democracy was under threat in BJP rule, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Friday said the Congress was making such remarks as it has shrunk to a “fringe party” from a mainstream party and has no chance in future elections.
“Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot says if Modi comes, there will be no elections again. This is wrong. Modi won in 2014 and there are elections in 2019.
Elections are taking place. Elections will happen in 2024, 2029 (and so on) but Congress has no chance in these elections,” the BJP’s poll
in-charge for Rajasthan, told PTI here.
“Congress was the mainstream party and now it has become a fringe party siding with the ‘tukde-tudke gang’. Congress is giving certificate that this is freedom of expression. They give such kind of defence,” he said.
CM Gehlot has said in his public rallies that democracy and the Constitution are under “threat” under Modi rule and elections may not happen if he comes to power again.
The Union HRD Minister also exuded confidence that the BJP will, on its own, win more seats than in 2014 and the NDA will get two-thirds majority in polls.
