Indian opposition protest arrest of leader ahead of polls
Arvind Kejriwal, key leader in the opposition against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the upcoming elections, was detained this month.
Top leaders of India's opposition coalition and thousands of supporters rallied in the capital Sunday, decrying"autocracy" in protest at the arrest of a senior colleague ahead of general elections. "The country is headed towards autocracy," Shiv Sena party leader Uddhav Thackeray, a former chief minister of Maharashtra state, told cheering crowds on Sunday."This one-man government is taking the country to ruin."
"This is a fight to save India," Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi said."If the BJP comes back to power, they will discard the constitution."India's main financial investigation agency, the Enforcement Directorate, which arrested Kejriwal, has launched probes into at least four other state chief ministers or their family members.
