Rajasthan CM also demands withdrawal of electoral bonds
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday described the GNCTD Amendment Bill passed by the Narendra Modi government to curtail the Delhi government’s rights as “murder of democracy”. In a tweet, he said abolishing the power of an elected government was against the spirit of democracy and added that the apex court had earlier ruled that the elected government was the real head of Delhi. “The Modi government wants to run the country in a fascist manner. Electoral malpractices, horse-trading of elected MLAs, and when failing in both, it resorts to passing such a dictatorial Bill on the strength of its majority in the Parliament. This is how the Modi government rules,” Mr. Gehlot said.
