During the local self-government elections, Aam Aadmi Party leader Manoj Sorathiya expressed strong outrage over Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi’s statement. Sorathiya alleged that the Home Minister’s language is beyond democratic limits and that criminals and drug mafias are roaming freely in the state without fear of the police.
Surat: Aam Aadmi Party’s state organization general secretary and candidate for Ward No. 4, Manoj Sorathiya, stated through the media that yesterday, Gujarat’s Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi attacked and threatened the opposition in such language as if running a gang of thugs. You launch attacks on the opposition, but today, in your own rule within Gujarat, all kinds of thugs, criminals, bootleggers, and drug mafias are moving around openly. You cannot take any action against them. You yourself are sitting in partnership with such people and attacking the opposition? The people of Gujarat are tired of the BJP, and because of this, the only talk going on across Gujarat is that the time has come to make the Bharatiya Janata Party sit at home. That is why you publicly have all BJP leaders abusing the opposition, but your sins will no longer remain hidden. This time, the people of Gujarat are going to expose your sins. No matter how clever you are and no matter how big a dictator you act like, the situation today is that people have no love for you. The way you have misused the police and misused the system to stay in power, once the power is gone, then if the public does not make you answer for all these actions of yours, then say so. The people of Gujarat are tired, fed up, and in the coming days, a change of power is certain. The countdown has begun in this local self-government election, you are seeing that the public is chasing you with a stick and you are experiencing it, that is why you are speaking as you please.
