In a bold broadside, Tika Ram Juli, Rajasthan Congress’s fiery opposition head, tears into BJP’s leadership charade with Nitin Nabin’s presidential bid. ‘Absolute theater—no commitment to democracy, especially not crowning a Dalit chief,’ he blasted in a pointed media interaction.
Juli peeled back layers of BJP’s oligarchy: ‘Two powerhouses dictate terms, installing favored presidents to rule unchecked.’ But the meatier accusation targets Rajasthan’s SIR voter exercise, allegedly twisted into a partisan cull.
Everything hummed along—Amit Shah’s arrival preceded by finished verifications, draft releases, and objection windows. Suddenly, deletion demands exploded. Juli’s inbox brimmed with 25,000, riddled with signature frauds. ‘Election Commission and Supreme Court must unearth sources and nail the guilty,’ he demanded.
Framing it as ‘CVR’—Congress Voter Removal—mirroring Bihar’s mess, Juli credited preemptive BLAs across booths under state leadership for early smoothness. He then unleashed on neglected crises: Bhiwadi’s toxic air, Delhi’s mayhem, Yamuna’s cleanup hypocrisy after Bihar optics, Aravalli mining despite local voices.
BJP’s Bengal obsession blinds them to ground realities, Juli argued. Shifting to eastern politics, he chided PM Modi: ‘Fix Bangladesh Hindu woes before assailing Mamata, whose sharp comeback will sting.’ Rajasthan’s vigilant opposition, he pledged, won’t buckle to subversion tactics.
