BJP demands Rahul Gandhi’s resignation over ‘regime change’ rhetoric

Kesavan characterized the Congress party’s recent political positioning as an attempt to foster mobocracy, arguing that Bhushan’s public call for regime change validates the ruling party’s long-standing concerns regarding Gandhi’s conduct. According to the BJP, the systemic criticism directed at the government is not a pursuit of democratic discourse but a coordinated effort to undermine the nation's integrity. The party further noted that a disciplinary notice issued to Gandhi serves as a formal rebuke of his political strategy.

Prashant Bhushan, speaking alongside AISA president Neha Bora and activist Abhijit Dipke, maintained that his call for a new government is a fundamental democratic right. He argued that the current administration is actively dismantling electoral democracy, justifying his stance as a necessary response to what he described as state-sponsored barbarism. Meanwhile, the broader coalition of activists and organizations continues to organize protests, including an upcoming demonstration at Connaught Place’s Central Park, as they escalate their opposition against the Election Commission of India.
