The Congress party termed Home Minister Amit Shah’s statements expressing doubts about the country’s multi-party democracy system as “belittling India’s multi-party democracy and shocking”.
Senior Congress leader Anand Sharma told The Hindu that questioning the wisdom of the framers of the Constitution is 'unacceptable'. “Given India’s rich diversity, only a multi-party system can be inclusive and representative of the Union of India,” he said.
“The BJP that NDA itself is a multi-party alliance and its member parties have been formed governments in states. I hope that Shri Nitish Kumar, Prakash Singh Badal, Udhav Thackrey and others are listening,” he said.
