Anandpur Sahib : Senior Congress leader and party candidate from Anandpur Sahab parliamentary constituency Manish Tewari on Sunday said that ‘in case Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister once again, it will be the end of democracy in India.’
“Modi is synonymous with dictatorship”, he remarked while talking to reporters after an impressive roadshow and workers meeting, organised by the local MLA and Speaker of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, Rana KP Singh, here on Sunday.Replying to a question, Tewari said, “there was already an undeclared emergency in the country for the last five years and god forbid if Modi becomes the PM again there will be total dictatorship and no democracy”.
The Congress leader took a jibe at the Akali Dal president Sukhbir Badal, saying, of the ten candidates who had contested on Akali ticket in 2014, eight had already deserted the party or declined to contest. “The remaining two, Prem Singh Chandumajra and Harsimrat Kaur Badal will be chased out by the people of Anandpur Sahab and Bathinda respectively”, he remarked, while adding, retaining their security deposits will be the greatest achievement for the Akalis.
