> If so, then Congress was in power for ~70 years, so imagine the power they wielded against opposition parties.

Congress did do that, during the Indira Gandhi Emergency. Forget much on how they jailed the current ruling party's leadership? And in return, they got promptly lambasted for it globally, and signs still remain even today. That doesn't mean that because Congress did it, it's BJP's turn now.

As a nation, we should be moving forward, but BJP seems to be intent on following the Congress playbook, but on a more aggressive scale than Congress could ever conceive. After all, India's first political party still had to show signs of being a democracy, while the descendant of India's first fascist party does not.
