Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday said democracy has a chance to survive in the country if the “corrupt government” led by BJP at the Centre and in Karnataka is thrown out of office.
Addressing a press conference here, Kharge said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are silent against corruption prevailing in their governments and using the state machinery including Enforcement Directorate and Central Bureau of Investigation against the opposition leaders. He said Modi is talkative about corruption only when an issue comes up against opposition leaders. “The Congress has always been in the forefront of development with several projects in the country. Modi questions what Congress has done in 70 years, but they seem to have forgotten the BJP’s term.”
