Rahul slams BJP's double engine govts in various states
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday dubbed the BJP 'Bhrast Janata Party' and claimed that its double-engine governments in various states have ruined the lives of the people through corruption, abuse of power and the poison of arrogance.
Gandhi cited the murder of Ankita Bhandari in Uttarakhand, the Unnao rape case in Uttar Pradesh, deaths from drinking contaminated water in Indore, among others, to attack the BJP.
In a post on X, the Congress leader wrote, "Across the country, "Corrupt" Janata Party's double-engine governments have ruined people's lives. Corruption, abuse of power, and the poison of arrogance have spread from top to bottom in BJP's politics. In their system, the lives of the poor, helpless, labourers, and the middle class are mere statistics, and in the name of "development," an extortion racket is running. The brutal murder of Ankita Bhandari in Uttarakhand has shaken the entire nation, but the question remains the same even today: Which BJP VIP is being protected by those in power? When will the law be equal for all?"
Gandhi accused the BJP of shielding criminals and misusing power, citing the Unnao case in Uttar Pradesh as an example where, he alleged, the victim had to struggle for justice.
He also raised concerns over public safety and environmental damage, alleging that rules were ignored to serve the interests of big corporations at the cost of ordinary citizens.
"In the Unnao case in Uttar Pradesh, the whole country has seen how criminals were shielded by the arrogance of power and how much the victim had to pay for justice. Whether it's deaths from drinking poisoned water in Indore, or complaints of "black water" and contaminated supply reaching Gujarat-Haryana-Delhi, fear of diseases looms everywhere. Be it Rajasthan's Aravali or natural resources, wherever the greed and self-interest of billionaires reached, rules were trampled there. Mountains are being sliced, forests raze, and in return, the public gets: dust, pollution, and disasters," the post read.
The Congress leader alleged that repeated accidents and failures in public services, including deaths in hospitals, collapsing school buildings and infrastructure breakdowns, are the result of corruption under BJP rule.
He claimed that the government responds only with publicity and compensation instead of accountability.
"Deaths of children from cough syrup, rats killing newborns in government hospitals, collapsing roofs in government schools, these are not "negligence," but the direct blow of corruption. Bridges collapse, roads cave in, families are wiped out in train accidents, and the BJP government does the same every time: photo-ops, tweets, and the formality of compensation. Modi ji's "double engine" is running, but only for billionaires. For the common Indian, this double-engine government of corruption is not development, but the speed of devastation, crushing someone's life every day," the post read.
