"Dangerous When...": Rahul Gandhi Accuses BJP Of Allowing Company Raj

Rahul Gandhi said, "This is no longer just a pure political fight. We are now fighting the institutional structure of the Indian state which is being captured by an organisation. The only way for us is to go to the large masses of the Indian people."

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party government for promoting a private-sector monopoly in the country and through this concentration of capital, also controlling the media.

"I think it's very dangerous for one company to control all airports, all ports, all the infrastructure. It (private sector monopoly) has never existed in this form. It has never existed with such a massive concentration of power and capital. This is another aspect that is throttling the conversation because the current Indian government is controlling the media through this concentration of capital," Mr Gandhi said at an event in London.

Accusing Bharatiya Janata Party of "spreading kerosene all over the country", the former Congress party president said, "You need one spark and we will be in big trouble. I think we need to act responsibly as the opposition, the Congress in the country that aims to bring people, communities, states, and religions together in harmony."

"We need to cool this temperature down because if it doesn't cool down, things can go wrong," the Congress leader said at the event which was organised by non-profit think-tank Bridge India.
