Rahul terms Modi, Shah ‘traitors’, says RSS-BJP regime destroying India
Raebareli: Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has launched a scathing attack on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and the RSS, accusing them of betraying the country, dismantling democratic institutions and attacking the Constitution to serve corporate interests and authoritarian Hindutva politics.
According to Kashmir Media Service, addressing a massive public gathering titled “Bahujan Swabhiman Sabha” in Raebareli, Rahul Gandhi termed Modi, Shah and the RSS “traitors” who, he said, had sold the country’s interests while systematically targeting the Constitution, secularism and democratic rights.
“You must tell RSS workers that Modi, Shah and their organization are traitors who have worked to sell the country and destroy the Constitution of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi,” Gandhi told the crowd.
The Congress leader accused the Modi-led BJP regime of weakening democratic institutions, suppressing independent media, undermining reservation policies and attacking constitutional safeguards for minorities, oppressed communities and ordinary citizens. He said the Indian Constitution was under “continuous assault” through policies designed to benefit a handful of powerful industrialists while impoverishing millions of Indians.
Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Modi government had handed over India’s economy and national resources to business tycoons Ambani and Adani, while common people were burdened with soaring inflation, unemployment and economic uncertainty. He warned that the country was heading towards a severe economic crisis triggered by global instability and the BJP government’s failed economic policies.
“In the coming months, prices of petrol, diesel, gas, food grains and essential commodities will rise sharply. Farmers will suffer due to fertilizer shortages, while ordinary citizens will bear the burden of this economic collapse,” he said.
The Congress leader further accused the BJP-RSS combine of eroding the spirit of democracy through manipulation of electoral rolls, attacks on the judiciary and privatization of public institutions. He said the regime was attempting to silence dissenting voices and impose ideological control over educational and state institutions.
Referring to demonetization and the Covid lockdown, Rahul Gandhi said Modi had repeatedly betrayed the people through policies that devastated workers, farmers and the poor while protecting corporate elites. He said the BJP government’s actions had exposed the widening gap between official propaganda and ground realities across India.
