'Threatening anarchy': BJP hits out at Rahul's 'democracy' remark in Berlin; accuses him of 'wanting chaos'

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of capturing India’s institutional framework and weaponising central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to consolidate political power.

Addressing students at the Hertie School in Berlin, Gandhi described the alleged move as an “attack" on India’s democratic system and vowed to create a “system of opposition resistance" to counter it.

“There is a wholesale capture of our institutional framework. Our intelligence agencies, ED and CBI, have been weaponised. ED and CBI have zero cases against the BJP, and most of the political cases are against the people who oppose them," Gandhi said.
