BJP Spokesperson Criticizes Oppositions Regime Change Rhetoric

New Delhi, October 16 (Daily Kiran) : BJP national spokesperson and Member of Parliament Sudhanshu Trivedi recently targeted the Congress party, the ‘Indi’ alliance, and leftist groups during a press conference in New Delhi. He dismissed a recent protest in Connaught Place as a failure, labeling it a foreign conspiracy and a manifestation of ‘regime change’ politics.

Trivedi stated, “As the Congress and the ‘Indi’ alliance continue to lose public support and face moral decline, they resort to violent struggles and conspiracies in collaboration with foreign powers. Terms like ‘regime change’ are now surfacing in Indian politics. New interpreters are attempting to convince us that this is part of a democratic process.”

He explained the distinction between ‘government change’ and ‘regime change.’ “We aim to establish a democratic process. ‘Government change’ refers to transitions through elections, while ‘regime change’ implies attempts at overthrowing through conspiracy and violent conflict.”

Commenting on the protest in Connaught Place, Trivedi remarked, “The so-called massive movement announced by Congress, the ‘Indi’ alliance, leftist parties, and other organizations attracted only a handful of participants. Given that the outer circle of Connaught Place is known as Indira Chowk and the inner circle as Rajiv Chowk, I believe the late Indira and Rajiv Gandhi would be embarrassed to see how few people could gather.”

He urged the youth to be cautious, saying, “I want to appeal to all young people and adolescents to act wisely. Whether you are part of this movement or observing from the outside, do not become pawns in someone else’s game. These are large-scale international conspiracies.”

Trivedi pointed out that sensitive issues like exam reforms have been exploited to manipulate youth emotions. “Take the example of exam reforms, a matter close to everyone’s heart. Your feelings have been used, and within four months, attention has shifted to what I believe is their true agenda.”

He also raised questions about the crowd at Connaught Place. “I would say that those attempting to protest in the inner circle likely felt relieved. This relief can be summed up in three words: TGI Friday — thank goodness it’s Friday.”

He noted that Connaught Place typically sees heavy crowds on Friday evenings and weekends. “Anyone visiting around 6, 7, or 8 PM can see the usual throngs in the inner circle. This raises questions about how the crowd is being portrayed.”

Trivedi referenced a Hindi proverb, “Heeng lage na fitkari, rang chaukha aaye,” which suggests that minimal effort can make something appear significant. “Even if only 100 or 200 people gathered, the existing crowd could make it seem much larger.”

In conclusion, he posed a serious question about why this protest was organized at this particular time and specifically in Connaught Place and central Delhi.
