In a bold statement, veteran Congress leader AK Antony expressed his unwavering commitment to his party, asserting that it is his religion.
At a press conference in Thiruvananthapuram, he made it clear that his son Anil Antony, contesting as a Bharatiya Janata Party candidate from Pathanamthitta, should face defeat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Antony didn't mince words in his criticism of the BJP, accusing it of attempting to dismantle the essence of India itself. He emphasised the crucial nature of the impending polls, describing it as a 'do or die' moment to reclaim and safeguard the core values of the nation.
"The Narendra Modi government and BJP are trying to destroy the idea of India. After this election, the rule of the Narendra Modi-led BJP government has to be ended.
If Narendra Modi’s government comes into power again, the Constitution formed by Dr Ambedkar will be sabotaged. Avoid that danger," Antony stated firmly.
Antony also took a swipe at the Communist Party of India, highlighting its lack of involvement in the formation of the Indian Constitution. He credited only the Congress and Dr. Ambedkar for this monumental task, stressing that the ruling Kerala party had no role to play in shaping the Constitution.
With Kerala being one of the few states where the Congress still holds a significant sway, the upcoming Lok Sabha elections hold immense importance.
Scheduled for April 26, the voting across all 20 seats in the southern state will be closely watched. The results, set to be announced on June 4, will undoubtedly shape the political landscape in Kerala and beyond.
