After BJP's Gujarat, UP, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Congress's Karnataka, and now in Telangana, bulldozers have demolished the shelters of helpless people. The first bulldozer operation in Indian history was carried out by the Congress government. Under the cover of the Emergency rule, the slums where poor people lived at Turkman Gate in Delhi were destroyed. It was Sanjay Gandhi, the son of Indira Gandhi, who directly led the bulldozer raj to control Delhi. Later, Modi, Shah, Yogi, and their associates took over this practice.

In North India, BJP governments even demolished the homes of those protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act. The Supreme Court itself raised strong objections to the bulldozer raj. However, what we saw later was Congress inheriting this bulldozer policy from the BJP! First in Yelahanka, Karnataka, and now in Telangana. The BJP and Congress are one. Bulldozers have become a symbol of the common arrogance of power in both parties.

Just like they came together to imprison Kejriwal, they have a tacit understanding when it comes to using bulldozers. When the BJP used bulldozers, the Congress remained silent; now, when the Congress is using bulldozers, the BJP remains quiet and supports them with their silence.

There are only two states in India where communal bulldozers cannot roll: Tamil Nadu and Left-ruled Kerala. The LDF is confident that the communal bulldozers from Telangana and Karnataka will never cross Kerala's borders. The meaning of LDF is "NO ENTRY" for communal riots and bulldozers.

While they are demolishing houses, we are building them. Not hundreds, not thousands, but five lakh houses.
