Raising slogans against the Congress party’s misdeeds, BJYM activists marched with placards denouncing financial fraud, institutional misuse, and systematic looting of public funds by the Congress leadership. The protest culminated with the burning of an effigy representing Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, signifying public outrage over the blatant misuse of power for personal and political gain.
Addressing the media during the protest, Arun Prabhat said, “The National Herald case is not just about a financial fraud, but a glaring example of how the Congress party and its leaders, particularly the Gandhi family, have consistently treated national institutions as their private property. The funds meant for the people of India were brazenly diverted to benefit a few at the top.”
The National Herald case, currently under judicial scrutiny, involves the alleged acquisition of the Associated Journals Limited (AJL) by Young Indian-a company in which Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi hold the majority stake-without compensating shareholders or clearing dues owed to the Government. Critics and investigating agencies have pointed to the wrongful acquisition of assets worth thousands of crores including prime real estate properties across major cities, under the guise of reviving a defunct newspaper.
BJYM further condemned the long history of the Congress party’s fiscal misgovernance, patronage politics, and institutional manipulation.
Arun Prabhat accused the Congress of shielding corrupt practices under political cover and reiterated BJYM’s commitment to exposing and resisting corrupt forces in Indian politics.
The demonstration was attended by scores of BJYM workers, youth activists.
The protest ended with chants of accountability and transparency, calling upon investigating agencies to expedite the legal proceedings and bring the culprits to justice.
