Delhi: BJP president Nitin Nabin says
“Over the past 12 years, under the Prime Minister’s leadership, we have worked to eliminate terrorism and free the country from Naxalism. However, some people with an Urban Naxal mindset are still trying to destabilise the country. Rahul Gandhi, your plans will never succeed. The language used by Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, INDI alliance leaders and the so-called young leadership of the CJP will not be accepted by the people of India, who are committed to Indian culture, democracy and the Constitution. Attempts to challenge constitutional institutions, undermine democracy and insult people holding the country’s highest constitutional offices will not be tolerated. Those relying on foreign powers to destabilise India will never succeed. Challenging democracy in the name of the Constitution and insulting the people’s mandate are unacceptable. Repeated electoral defeats in various states reflect your frustration, and you do not want the country to progress peacefully.”
