Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's husband Parakala Prabhakar has claimed that if the BJP comes back to power for the third time, then India's map and the constitution will change.
Prabhakar, who is a renowned economist and staunch critic of the Modi government, further said that if the present BJP dispensation is re-elected in 2024, then there won't be another election in the country.
The Congress had shared a clipping of his remarks made on April 7 in an interview.
Quoting certain BJP's leaders oft-repeated statements like ‘isko Pakistan jaane ka hai, jane do’ (If they want to go to Pakistan, let them), Prabhakar said that these hate speeches will now be made from the ramparts of Red Fort in Delhi.
“Modi himself will give a hate speech from the Red Fort and it won’t be done silently or subtly,” he said, adding that the hate speeches will be ‘khula khel’.
He further said that the unrest that gripped Manipur due to the ethnic clashes between Kuki and Meitei communities will be the norm across India, if Modi returns to power.
