The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been accused of employing drastic measures, deserting traditional political ethics, in a controversial move aimed at securing victory in the upcoming April 2024 elections.
The Modi govt, it's alleged, has unleashed a campaign targeting prominent figures of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), following the arrest of New Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
During a recent press conference, Delhi's Education Minister, Atishi Marlena, voiced concerns over alleged pressure tactics employed by the Modi government, claiming that AAP leaders were given ultimatums to either join the BJP or face jail time.
Marlena further disclosed that BJP's purported agenda includes the apprehension of four more AAP leaders, namely Saurabh Bharadwaj, Raghav Chadha, Durgesh Pathak, and herself, before the Lok Sabha elections.

The BJP's aggressive stance against opposition parties extends beyond AAP, as evidenced by its actions against the Congress party. Accounts belonging to the Congress have reportedly been frozen, with hefty fines totaling Rs3500 crores imposed, further complicating the political landscape.
Critics argue that these actions signal a departure from democratic norms, with concerns raised over the integrity of the electoral process. As the nation gears up for the impending elections, the clash between political ideologies intensifies, leaving many to ponder the implications for India's democratic fabric.
