Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], July 21 : Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday slammed the BJP-led government, saying the opposition is fighting to save democracy.
The Congress leader said there is a lot of anger among people over the policies of the government.
"No one knows in which direction this country is heading or will head because the NDA government has adopted such a method that they do not react to it or give any statement. If opposition parties raise any demands, they do not pay attention to them either... There is a lot of anger across the country... This is a fight to save democracy," he said.
Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were detained by the Delhi Police on Tuesday while leading a protest near Prime Minister Narendra Modi's official residence at Lok Kalyan Marg seeking accountability over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
They were later released by police. In a post on X earlier, Rahul Gandhi, who is Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, said voice of students will not be ignored.
