In an enormous declare, the Congress social gathering at this time mentioned that the Income Tax Department has frozen its financial institution accounts leaving it with no cash to deal with each day actions. Addressing a press convention, Congress chief and social gathering’s treasurer Ajay Maken expressed grave considerations over this motion, alleging that it as an “alarming sign of democratic values being undermined in India” and that to weeks earlier than the essential Lok Sabha polls. According to Maken, the freezing of the social gathering’s accounts just isn’t “just an operational setback but signifies a deeper crisis for democracy in the country.”

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge accused the Modi authorities of being ‘power-drunk’. “Power drunk Modi Govt has frozen the accounts of the country’s largest Opposition party – the Indian National Congress – just before the Lok Sabha elections. This is a deep assault on India’s Democracy ! The UNCONSTITUTIONAL money collected by the BJP would be utilised by them for elections, but the money collected by us through CROWDFUNDING shall be sealed! That is why, I have said that there won’t be any elections in the future. We appeal to the Judiciary to save the multi-party system in this country and protect India’s Democracy. We will take to the streets and fight strongly against this autocracy!” he mentioned.
