New Delhi buzzes with fresh political fireworks as BJP MP Babu Ram Nishad fires back at Congress veteran Digvijay Singh’s alarming claim that ‘democracy is in danger.’ Nishad dismisses it as sour grapes from a leader disillusioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s relentless development agenda.
Singh had painted a grim picture, lamenting the erosion of post-independence communal harmony. He accused extremist forces of stoking religious frenzy between Hindus and Muslims, shattering the once-peaceful atmosphere nurtured since partition.
But Nishad sees through the rhetoric. ‘Leaders like Digvijay are rattled because Modi’s policies are delivering real benefits to villages, the poor, farmers, and laborers,’ he retorted. Recent budgets have transformed India’s landscape, leaving Congress’s outdated playbook obsolete. The era of casteism, appeasement, regionalism, and feudalism is over—development now reigns supreme.
Echoing the sentiment, BJP MP Gulam Ali Khatana slammed Congress’s riot-ridden past, questioning what lessons they can teach BJP. On Rahul Gandhi’s controversial China remarks that sparked Lok Sabha chaos, Khatana urged the Opposition leader to uphold parliamentary decorum. As LoP, Gandhi sets an example; breaching norms undermines the House’s order.
This exchange underscores deepening divides ahead of key sessions. While Congress cries foul over democracy, BJP champions progress under Modi, urging voters to judge by results, not rhetoric. The battle for narrative control intensifies, with development as the new battleground.
