Union Minister of Coal and Mines and state BJP president G. Kishan Reddy took to suppression of civil liberties, the flagrant abuse of power". and the systematic dismantling of democratic institutions.
“This dark period saw the imprisonment of our leaders, censorship of the press and widespread human rights abuses, all orchestrated to preserve their political dominance. The emergency is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by congressional authoritarianism and its profound impact on our nation's founding principles. So that we do not forget!”, reads his publication.
Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar said the Congress has "emergency DNA".
“It is not enough to defend the Constitution, but it is necessary to defend the values enshrined in it. No one has made a bigger mockery of the Constitution than Congress. Even as we speak, cases are being filed against journalists in states governed by Congress, limiting freedom of expression, the right to move, and sometimes even the right to live, let alone the right to equality. The latest people's mandate is proof that the BJP-led NDA has delivered good governance,” he asserted.
