BJP’s Ravi Shankar Prasad says democracy has defeated ‘anarchy’ amid CJP protest, Parliament will govern
Prasad said the opposition has weaponized street protests after electoral defeats and defended the Special Intensive Revision as a lawful exercise.
- On Saturday, BJP MP and Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut alleged a conspiracy to destabilize India, criticizing Cockroach Janta Party protesters at Jantar Mantar who demanded Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over electoral roll revisions.
- Protesters challenged the Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, citing alleged irregularities. Delhi Police detained around 7,000 individuals ahead of the demonstration and deployed 41,000 security personnel across the Capital.
- Ranaut described protesters as "anti-national and terrorist elements," claiming various conspiracies aim to disrupt normal life. She alleged these groups hatch plots to cause public inconvenience "under one pretext or another."
- Addressing broader political tensions, the actor criticized Rahul Gandhi, comparing his election complaints to students blaming difficult exam papers or teachers for failure rather than acknowledging their own performance.
- Invoking Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman, Ranaut expressed confidence in the government's stability, asserting, "The people of the country are with us." She emphasized that faith provides protection against those opposing India's interests.
