BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia endorsed CJI B.R. Gavai’s statement that India is governed by law and Constitution, not bulldozers. He also dismissed Rahul Gandhi’s claim that democracy in India is over.
BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia has strongly supported the recent statement of Chief Justice of India (CJI) B.R. Gavai, who said that India is not governed by the power of bulldozers but only by the power of law and the Constitution.
Speaking at an event, Bhatia highlighted that India’s democracy is strong and its judiciary has become even stronger in the past decade with the help of the government. At the same time, he also criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Gaurav Bhatia said this:
“India’s judiciary has been strengthened with foresight in the last 11 years with the support of the government. He said that India runs under the Constitution and law. The Chief Justice has faith in the Constitution and the faith of Indian citizens is also in the Constitution. It is also true that India is a country where democracy is strong. He rejected Rahul Gandhi’s statement that India’s democracy is over, and said that it is far from the truth.”
Bhatia made it clear that the Indian system will always work according to law and Constitution, and that the present government has always respected the judiciary as well as the office of the Chief Justice. Repeating his point, he added:
“Bhatia further said that India will always run under the Constitution and law. The government is also committed to the Constitution. There is also respect for the judicial system and our Chief Justice. Their faith is in the Constitution and the faith of the citizens is also in the Constitution.”
This discussion began after CJI B.R. Gavai’s important observation at the ‘Rule of Law Memorial Lecture’ held in Mauritius.
During his lecture, the Chief Justice gave a very clear message that India’s justice system cannot accept bulldozer action without legal hearing or process. He underlined that the judiciary exists to protect the Constitution and to ensure justice for every individual, especially the most vulnerable.
CJI B.R. Gavai said:
“India will run by the Constitution, not bulldozers.”
He went on to explain why misuse of power without proper process cannot be accepted, and added:
“India is not run by the rule of bulldozers, but by the rule of law.”
Citing the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, he reminded everyone that the focus of every decision in governance should be the welfare of the weakest sections of society. He said:
“Before taking any decision, one should think about what will be its impact on the poorest and last person in the society.”
CJI B.R. Gavai also mentioned Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and explained that the Indian Constitution has created rules and systems in such a way that no one can misuse power and every person can get justice.

In his words:
“The Constitution has framed rules and procedures in such a way that power is not misused and every human being gets justice.”
He reminded that the Supreme Court of India has always stood for strengthening the rule of law and mentioned several landmark judgments as examples. He said:
“The Supreme Court of India has always been strengthening the ‘rule of law’.”
With these statements, the Chief Justice and BJP’s spokesperson both gave a strong message that India’s foundation is law, not bulldozer action, and that both the judiciary and the Constitution are pillars of Indian democracy.
