Hyderabad, August 16, 2021 (PPI-OT):Congress party state president A. Revanth Reddy has said that democracy is under threat in India under the fascist rule of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as also in Telangana under Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.

India will get real Independence when Modi and Rao are ousted from their post, he said after hoisting the National Flag marking the 75th Independence Day on Sunday.

He said only the Congress could make India a powerful nation. “Rahul Gandhi’s ideology would help strengthen the nation,” he said.

Revanth said the Congress brought Independence for India in a democratic and peaceful manner. India had also become an inspiration for other countries in adopting the path of peace. Now, a few political parties are seeking to widen the gap between religions for their selfish interests and India has turned into an experimental laboratory for them, he alleged.

Reddy said the Congress helped farmers by providing them free power, input subsidy and minimum support price. The SC, ST and other segments get rights on land due to Congress bringing in the land ceiling act. Instead, the Modi government turned farmers as “slaves” and brought forward anti-farmer laws in favour of industrialists like Ambani and Adani, he alleged.

Modi and Rao cheated farmers, the unemployed youths and others with false promises of jobs and lands, Revanth said.

An Independence Day March was held by Congressmen from the Nehru statue in Abids to Gandhi Bhavan. Revanth Reddy, CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and AICC secretary Bosu Raju took part in the march. The Congress leaders felicitated 10 freedom fighters to mark the 75th Independence Day.
