Rahul Gandhi seeking anarchy for regime change, says BJP

New Delhi, Oct 15 (PTI): The BJP on Thursday alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and his “entire ecosystem” are trying to create “Bangladesh-like anarchy” in the country to bring about “regime change” and take the seat of power at the Centre.
Speaking to reporters at the BJP headquarters here, party spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari cited All India Students’ Association (AISA) leader Neha Bora’s alleged remarks that she is inspired by the youth-led movement in Bangladesh as “proof of Gandhi’s conspiracy”. There was no immediate response from the Congress or Bora to the BJP’s charge. “Neha Bora said in an interview that she is inspired by the Bangladesh ‘andolan’ (movement) and that what happened in Bangladesh should happen in India as well. These are Neha Bora’s words but Rahul Gandhi’s view,” Bhandari charged.
They want a Bangladesh-like Gen Z movement in India and their goal is “regime change”, he alleged.
He further claimed that Bora’s remarks and her presence at Gandhi’s recent protest march prove that the Congress leader is hatching a “conspiracy” with his “entire ecosystem” to destroy democracy by fomenting anarchy in the country to somehow bring the Congress back to power at the Centre.
“This is not political resistance; this is an anarchic march and an anarchic revolt. Their goal is regime change,” Bhandari claimed.
“There is a series of patterns which shows that the objective of Rahul Gandhi is not democratic resistance, but appropriation and legitimisation of anarchy. It is (the Congress’) fight against the Indian state and Indian democracy,” he alleged.
Bhandari alleged that Gandhi wants to bring his “family” back to power through such “conspiracy” because the Congress is unable to do it through democratic means under his leadership.
