Well BJP always says congress mis-uses CBI, Supreme court , President. But BJP has shown time and again it will also use gun to eliminate people. The gujarat extra judicial killings of muslim criminals is a point. But they also raped and burnt the wife of the criminals. BJP never respects the country and its people. They are like Taliban. They would say anything sweet to come to power. Once in power they would use the boots to kick hard the same people who put them to power.
