Rahul Gandhi: Calls BJP fascists at Bharat Summit, but what did he link to gig workers?

At the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the ruling BJP of abandoning democratic principles, labeling its members as “fascists” and declaring India is no longer a democracy. His remarks were made before an audience of regional politicians, business leaders and civil‑society representatives, immediately sparking sharp reactions and setting a confrontational tone for the event and drew condemnation from several party allies today.

Gandhi referenced ongoing controversies, including recent phone‑tapping claims and allegations of electoral roll revisions ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He also highlighted the need for stronger labor protections.

The summit, organized as a platform for dialogue on India’s developmental agenda, has become a focal point for political contestation as the ruling party consolidates power at the centre and in several states. Gandhi’s criticism reflects a long‑standing narrative that the government is curbing dissent and manipulating institutional mechanisms, raising concerns about voter‑list updates and the health of democratic institutions.

Observers will watch for the ruling party’s response, including any official rebuttal or parliamentary motions that may arise from the summit statements. Upcoming Lok Sabha sessions are expected to feature heated exchanges over the alleged surveillance and electoral reforms, while the opposition is likely to intensify outreach in key constituencies ahead of the 2024 polls. Civil‑society groups may also organise forums to assess claims of democratic backsliding.
