Senior Congress leader and former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot criticized the BJP following the defection of seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs, describing it as a 'murder of democracy.'
Gehlot indicated that central agencies are allegedly being used to corner opposition figures, with raids on opposition members as part of a larger strategy.
