Dont ever think of this. Never ever, Singhvi posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.If ED even thinks of arresting RaGa, the nation shall strike the final nail in BJPs coffin!

He likened the governments policies to the strategic warfare in the epic, suggesting that the nation is being trapped in a similar way.Thousands of years ago, in Kurukshetra, six people trapped Abhimanyu in a Chakravyuh and killed him. I did a little research and found out that Chakravyuh is also known as Padmavyuh - which means Lotus formation. Chakravyuh is in the shape of a Lotus. In the 21st century, a new Chakravyuh has been formed - that too in the form of a Lotus. The Prime Minister wears its symbol on his chest. What was done with Abhimanyu, is being done with India - the youth, farmers, women, small and medium businesses. Abhimanyu was killed by six people. Today, too there are six people in the centre of Chakravyuh. Six people control India today too - Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Mohan Bhagwat, Ajit Doval, Ambani, and Adani, Gandhi asserted.Anurag Thakurs responseBJP Lok Sabha MP Anurag Thakur responded to Gandhis statements with a jibe, referring to some people as accidental Hindus with accidental knowledge of the Mahabharata. Thakurs remarks highlighted the ongoing political tensions and the sharp exchanges between the ruling party and the opposition.
