Even the battle of the opposition will not be cold

The time which was waiting for the last eight years has come. Eight years ago, when Narendra Modi’s government was formed at the center, he had talked about Congress-free India. Since then, it was awaited that when will the Nehru-Gandhi family reach the hands of the central agencies. Many people were asking that if the Nehru-Gandhi family is corrupt then why is the central government not taking action. Similarly, it was being said about Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra that when BJP made so many allegations against him while in opposition, why is it not taking action when it comes to power? Now it looks like the time has come for action. Rahul Gandhi appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning for three consecutive days and is to appear for the fourth time on Monday. Would not be surprised if he is arrested after further interrogation. There are reports in the media that ED officials are not satisfied with their answers. When the agency officials are not satisfied with the answers, the way forward is for custodial interrogation.

Congress leaders are also understanding this and other parties are also understanding this. The Shiv Sena, which was an ally of the BJP till recently, has written in its mouthpiece Saamana that the central government’s aim is not just to make a Congress-free India, it seems that it wants to erase the name of the Nehru-Gandhi family. In every speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacking familyism and calling it the biggest threat to democracy is also not an accident. Its purpose is to target only Sonia Gandhi’s family. In fact, the work has been going on here for the last eight years, so there has been a delay in the action.

In fact, the Narendra Modi government had the experience of Indira Gandhi, when Indira Gandhi was arrested in 1977 when the Janata Party government was formed. It was only after that that sympathy arose towards him and his support began to grow. That is why instead of taking immediate action against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi as soon as the government came, an atmosphere was created through propaganda and propaganda against both of them as well as their ancestors for the last eight years. The mind of the people of the country was prepared for the fact that this family is the root of all the problems of the country. If the country has not progressed or there is black money in the country or there is corruption in the country, then it is all because of this family. Now the government is feeling that this notion has firmly settled in the minds of the people, so action has been started. So it is possible that this action will not end on mere inquiry. There should be no doubt in the belief that this is a political move, which is directly related to the next Lok Sabha elections. If the leaders of the largest opposition party are surrounded by corruption charges, the campaign of the opposition parties to fight unitedly will not come to fruition. The BJP will benefit from the scattered opposition.

Congress is understanding this. Therefore, it is certain that the conflict between the Congress and the Central Government and the Bharatiya Janata Party has also become permanent. This fight will not be fought only in Parliament House or Parliamentary Complex. This fight will take place on the streets. The sight that was on the streets of Delhi from last Monday to Wednesday is going to be permanent. From Delhi to other cities of the country, such incidents will be seen permanently, like the clash between police and Congress leaders in Hyderabad on Thursday. After waiting for eight years, if action is started against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, then the government will try to bring it to any conclusion and during that time the confrontation with Congress will increase. That too is a kind of Agneepath. Instead of ideological and policy confrontation, there will be a fight on the streets. Both sides are considering it as an opportunity for themselves. The BJP is feeling that it is time to finish the Congress decisively, while the Congress is feeling that the action being taken against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi can prove to be an opportunity for the Congress to come back.
