Is India developing into a one-party state? ‘Completely wrong,’ ex-CJI Chandrachud informs BBC to see poll outcomes–

Former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud declined the concept that India is developing into a ‘one-party state’, stating that the 2024 Lok Sabha political elections verify his factor.

During a discussion on BBC‘s “HARDtalk”, Chandrachud claimed, “If you look at the states in India, the states are where the regional aspirations and identities have come to the fore, and so many of our states in India … you have regional political parties which have done exceptionally well and they are ruling those states.”

The subject showed up after the BBC reporter pointed out a New York Times content which declared that India is developing into a “one-party” state with the Bharatiya Janata Party having control over courts.

When inquired about Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s sentence, Chandrachud claimed, “If you look at the fact that there is a decision of a trial court in India, but that judgment was stayed by SC, which meant that the political leader you are talking about could resume his activities in Parliament.”

Talking concerning the judicial procedures in India, the previous CJI claimed, “Higher courts, particularly Supreme Court, have sent out a clear message that we are here to safeguard personal liberties, in individual cases, there may be a difference of personal opinion, but the fact of the matter is that the Supreme Court has been at the vanguard of personal liberty. This is the reason why we have the faith of the people.”
