Gehlot slams BJP for 'freezing' bank accounts of Congress, terms it 'murder' of democracy

Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday hit out at the BJP government at the Centre for “freezing” the bank accounts of the Congress and said democracy was being “murdered” in the country.

Gehlot also condemned the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying the BJP will go to any length to win the Lok Sabha elections.

In a press conference at the Congress office here, Gehlot said, “Democracy is being murdered in the country. And you can understand that without the permission of Modi ji and Amit Shah, not even a leaf moves at the Centre.” The senior Rajasthan Congress leader said the actions of the BJP government will lead to the party’s downfall.
