Electoral bonds proof of BJP’s ‘white-collar corruption’: Stalin at INDIA rally
The DMK chief, who was the first speaker at the rally, said the Opposition bloc would form a secular, federal, and inclusive government at the Centre
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin described electoral bonds as the ruling BJP’s “white collar corruption” while speaking at the INDIA bloc’s mega rally at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park on Sunday (March 17).
The DMK chief, who was the first speaker at the rally to mark the end of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, said the Opposition bloc would form a secular, federal, and inclusive government at the Centre.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done only two things in the past 10 years — foreign trips and fake propaganda. We have to stop this,” he said.
“Fear of INDIA”
The Tamil Nadu chief minister said since the Opposition named its bloc INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance), the BJP has stopped using the word “India”.
“This is fear. PM Modi has started defaming us as corrupt, but electoral bonds proved that BJP is corrupt. It’s white-collar corruption of the BJP,” said Stalin.
He added that Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra was an attempt to see through the heart of India, which he claimed has been destroyed by the BJP.
“BJP threat to India”
There is no bigger threat to India than BJP, he alleged. “We have to defeat the BJP. The journey that started in Kanyakumari should end by wresting power in Delhi,” he said.
Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah said INDIA block partners have united to save the country.
AAP leader and Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said, “We are all here together because we don’t fear going to jail. To win, we have to fight,” he said.
Bharadwaj said that electoral bonds have exposed the BJP and people should be made aware of it.
