TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Declaring that “dictatorship has become a vocation” in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s regime, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi today said that people in Chhattisgarh will remember the attack on his party’s workers in Bilaspur as an act of “political persecution”.
Taking to Twitter a day after police beat up protesting Congress workers in the Chhattisgarh town, leaving several injured, the Congress president trained his guns on the BJP-led Raman Singh government in the state and also tagged a video of the incident.
“In Narendra Modi’s regime, dictatorship has become a vocation. The cowardly manner in which the fundamental rights of Congress workers in Bilaspur were attacked by the Raman Singh government will be remembered by the people there as political persecution,” he said on Twitter in Hindi.
At least seven Congress workers were injured on Tuesday when police beat them with sticks in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur city after they allegedly threw garbage inside a minister’s house.
