BJP National Co-Incharge for Tamil Nadu and Karnataka and former Telangana MLC
“Protest is a constitutional and democratic right. But attempting to storm the office of a political opponent and throwing or applying black colour on its gates is not democracy. It is intimidation and political hooliganism. Congress cannot paint democracy black simply because it disagrees with the BJP.”
