Democracy was murdered when Cong-JD(S) allied for power: Shah

May 17, 2018 13:53

BJP chief Amit Shah on Thursday hit back at Congress president Rahul Gandhi after the latter accused the BJP of murdering democracy. Shah tearing into Gandhi said that democracy was murdered by the Congress the minute it decided to ally with the Janata Dal (Secular) for political gains.

Shah continuing his tirade against the grand old party chief said that it was at the time of emergency imposed by the latter party that the constitution of democracy was heavily damaged.

"The 'Murder of Democracy' happens the minute a desperate Congress made an 'opportunist' offer to the JD(S), not for Karnataka's welfare but for their petty political gains. Shameful!," Shah tweeted.
