NEW DELHI:

Taking to X on the 11th anniversary of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government and the first anniversary of the coalition's third term, Kharge said: "In the last 11 years, the Modi government has caused a deep blow to Indian Democracy, Economy and Social fabric. The BJP-RSS has weakened every Constitutional institution and attacked their autonomy. Whether it is stealing public opinion and toppling governments through the back door, or forcibly imposing a one-party dictatorship. During this period, the rights of the states have been ignored and the federal structure has weakened."
