The AAP on Friday claimed the BJP is afraid of losing to the Opposition INDIA bloc in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and the party’s Government at the Centre has unleashed all its agencies to suppress the alliance. Addressing a press conference, senior AAP leader and Delhi Minister Atishi said that ever since there have been talks of different Opposition parties coming together, leaders of the alliance have faced raids by the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation .
She shared a list of names of such leaders, including Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Trinamool Congress president and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
“In the last week, the action by these agencies has intensified. First, it was the journalists who were raided and their mobiles and laptops were taken away as they had been raising their voice against the rise of unemployment under the Modi government.
“Then it was TMC leader Mahua Moitra who was dragged by Delhi Police after she reached Krishi Bhawan for raising her voice. Then Sanjay Singh was arrested,” Atishi said.
“The BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are rattled by the INDIA alliance. They know that they will lose the 2024 Lok Sabha elections to the INDIA alliance. They have unleashed all their agencies to trouble the leaders of the alliance and suppress the voice of the bloc,” she alleged.
Delhi Police arrested NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha and human resources head Amit Chakravarty on Tuesday after searching nearly 50 locations.
