The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Congress-led INDIA bloc and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which it described as an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) “proxy”. The BJP alleged that both groups were seeking to destabilise India at the behest of foreign powers, warning that such “sinister designs” to foment unrest would be met with a firm response.

“I warn you that the BJP and the patriotic people of the country will give you a fitting response. The attempts you are making today to create disturbance will be dealt with firmly by the Government of India. We will counter all such forces resolutely, whether they are operating from abroad or within the country,” said BJP president Nitin Nabin.

Stating that efforts were underway to create an extremely serious and dangerous situation in the country, BJP president Nitin Nabin said: “And who is doing this? These are two anarchist groups: one led by Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the INDIA bloc, and the other led by CJP, an ally of Arvind Kejriwal. I want to make it clear to both these groups that the people of India are watching you closely.”

“This anarchic competition you are engaged in, to see who can create the greatest instability in this country, will not succeed. The people have rejected both Rahul Gandhi’s INDIA bloc, and Arvind Kejriwal and his CJP. Instead of learning from the people’s verdict, you are trying to destabilise the country. You are doing this not only to pursue your political objectives but also at the behest of foreign powers,” said Mr. Nabin.

Questioning the language used against those holding the country’s highest offices, he said the people — who were rooted in India’s culture and were committed to the Indian Constitution — would never accept such conduct. “You are pursuing your sellout politics on the strength of foreign powers and conspiring with them. However, your sinister intentions will never be fulfilled,” he said.

“Challenging democracy through lies in the name of the Constitution is an insult to the people’s mandate. The person whom the people of this country have chosen is leading the country. Your conduct reflects your frustration because of repeated electoral defeats,” said Mr. Nabin.

He also said the two groups were troubled by India’s growth despite the ongoing global crisis and were unable to bear the way the country was becoming self-reliant under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Over the past 12 years, under Prime Minister Modi, we have worked to take this country out of an atmosphere of fear, through attempts to root out terrorism and free the country from Naxalism.
