Kharge Blasts EC: “Modi Puppet Show” Threatens Indian Democracy
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge launched a scathing attack on the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday, August 2, 2025, accusing it of acting as a puppet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He alleged widespread voter disenfranchisement in Bihar, citing this as evidence of the ECI’s bias.
Kharge’s accusations went beyond the ECI. He asserted that the very foundation of the Indian Constitution is under threat, alleging the BJP is deliberately pursuing divisive policies to fracture Indian society.
The Congress leader further criticized Prime Minister Modi’s handling of several critical national issues, highlighting what he described as a concerning lack of decisive action and public engagement.
Kharge also pointed to instances of discrimination and the systematic suppression of opposition voices within the country. He painted a grim picture of a democracy under siege.
This sharp critique comes at a critical juncture for Indian politics, raising serious questions about the impartiality of electoral processes and the broader health of the nation’s democratic institutions. The accusations demand a thorough investigation and a robust public discourse to safeguard the future of Indian democracy.
