<h1>Misuse of police undermining democracy, alleged political coercion and fiscal overstatement publicly raise accountability concerns.</h1> Allegations assert that the ruling party and state government misused police powers and political influence to intimidate opponents, manipulate criminal investigations through selective bookings and witness management, and orchestrate arrests, thereby raising concerns about abuse of executive power and interference with electoral integrity; separately, the leader contests the government's portrayal of economic performance and calls for corrective action to restore fiscal credibility.
