Chief Minister Harish Rawat while training his guns on the BJP said they are “killing” democracy. “BJP party with the support of their party at Centre is trying to destabilise the state governments. They are killing democracy. They talk about cooperative federalism and they are targeting the opposition governments selectively,” he said.
