Rahul Gandhi Criticizes BJP-RSS for Centralising Power, Advocates Decentralisation in Kerala

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP and its ideological mentor RSS of centralising power and suppressing democratic voices to benefit select corporates. Speaking at a Congress-led UDF event in Kochi, he contrasted this with Congress's support for decentralisation and empowering local bodies. Gandhi urged people to speak out against a 'culture of silence' and pledged a responsive government in Kerala, highlighting upcoming state assembly elections and concerns over unemployment and democratic participation.
