Modi Sarkar uses technicalities to sabotage anti-corruption regime set up by UPA. No sign of Lokpal. Attempts to weaken Whistleblowers Protection. Now BJP aims to weaken RTI. Add dubious electoral bonds. BJP will do everything possible to खाओ और खिलाओ their cronies #SaveRTI

Earlier AAP would contest to divide the anti-BJP vote. Now the Sangh Parivar ensures that AAP leaders formally join the BJP. This should make voters realise the hypocrisy & hollow promises of AAP. For a better Karnataka, it's time to stand firmly with Congress.

India's strength is its vibrant democracy. But @BJP4India weakens India by subverting verdicts. In Goa, Manipur, Karnataka & MP, it buys MLAs or misuses gov agencies. #SpeakUpForDemocracy Let Rajasthan Assembly be convened now to show that who the people elected, still prevail.

Y'day in RS, I demanded repeal of Sec377(criminalising homosexuality),Sec124A(anti-sedition),Sec497(anti-adultery) & Exception 2 to Sec375(exempting marital rape) of IPC. These laws are obsolete in a 21st century democracy & must be consigned to history!

Modi Sarkar's plan to make NMML a museum for all PMs, is part of @RSSorg & @BJP4India 's strategy to attack Nehru’s legacy. They do this as Nehru towers over the rest & his worldview & actions are a total contrast to BJP-RSS regressive & divisive ideology.
