Disqualifying Gandhi was a threat to democracy. He was implicated in a false case registered in a BJP-ruled State, she said.

The DCC chief wondered whether questioning Narendra Modi was a crime. She stated that both Modi and union minister Amith Shah were feeling insecure with Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra evoking huge response from the public. She wanted everyone to condemn the union government’s move and extend their solidarity to Gandhi.

Congress Legislature Party leader Bhatti Vikramarka also staged a dharna on the issue at Buruguguda village in Asifabad mandal. He criticized the Centre for hastily disqualifying the Congress leader.
