USAID row: Congress slams BJP, demands white paper
The grand old party also said that the “white paper” should not only focus on USAID funding, but all such agencies which fund both Governments, individuals and all other entities under Indian law.
Observing that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will open the ‘Door of NYAY (justice)’ for India, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday said this would be perhaps the last chance to save ”Democracy and our Constitution from Dictatorship.”
In a social media post on X , he said, ‘‘We the people of India’ will together fight against hatred, loot, unemployment, price rise and atrocities. Haath Badlega Halaat (Hand will change the situation)”

He called upon the people to vote in record numbers and further strengthen the foundation of the world’s largest democracy. ”Under the leadership of respected Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, BJP will form the government with an overwhelming majority and will work with determination to fulfill the aspirations of the people for the next 5 years,” the BJP chief added.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, “This is an election that will decide the future of India. What kind of India do you want to leave behind to your children? What kind of India do you want to live in? If BJP comes to power again, they have a vision of one language, one nation, one religion, one leader, one party and one election as well. That is going to be their approach whereas ours is, inclusion of celebrating diversity and pluralism and all the wonderful characteristics we in Kerala have got used to and love so much.”
