The slap by Delhi BJP Minister Parvesh Verma to a man video recording him during a road inspection visit is symptomatic of a much bigger malaise, says Rahul Gandhi, claiming it is “the face of a power that no longer fears voters”.
The Congress leader suggested that “vote chori” gives these BJP leaders the confidence to do as they please.
“A BJP minister from the Delhi government is seen slapping a young man in a video . His crime? He was making a video. A road was being dug up right in front of the minister, and he had a camera in his hand. This is the face of a power that no longer fears the voters,” Gandhi posted on X. Gandhi also weaved in his own experience, claiming whenever the opposition raises questions in Parliament the mic is switched off, a charge he has made repeatedly in the past. Vote theft buys this – not just the result, but the arrogance that follows. ” Bilkul galat bola.
Because they no longer fear that elections can remove them, “These people do this. The lathicharge is a reference to the Cockroach Janta Party-led protests in Delhi where students were lathicharged by police when they led a march to parliament protesting against the NEET paper leak on the opening day of the Monsoon Session on July 20. Aapne 15 saal main sadak nahi banayi ab hum bana rahe hain (That is completely wrong. You didn’t build the road in 15 years; now we are building it),” the Minister said.
A government that takes victory for granted doesn’t need your consent – it demands your silence and blind devotion,” Gandhi said. The Congress leader suggested that “vote chori” gives these BJP leaders the confidence to do as they please. ” Galat nahi bolna (Do not speak wrongly),” the Minister, with his arm around the AAP MLA, said.
