Bhubaneswar, 29 Jan: In a stark warning, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge expressed concerns that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections might mark the end of democracy in India if Prime Minister Narendra Modi secures another victory. Kharge suggested that Modi’s party, the BJP, could potentially usher in a period of dictatorship, drawing parallels with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.
ये आख़री chance है आप के पास वोट देने का, इसके बाद लोकतंत्र नहीं बचेगा !
संविधान व लोकतंत्र को बचाना और चुनाव बार-बार कराना इसकी ज़िम्मेदारी अब जनता के ऊपर है।

Speaking at a party rally, Kharge urged the people to view the upcoming elections as their last opportunity to safeguard democracy in the country. He asserted, “This will be the last opportunity for the people to save democracy in India. If Narendra Modi wins another election, there will be dictatorship in the country. The BJP will rule India like Putin in Russia.”
