Modi Takes Aim at Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi Over Democratic Institutions

Without mentioning the Constitution by name, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha. He said that some political leaders behave as if they own the democratic institutions of the country even after being out of power. He said, "Nowadays, some people take the Constitution out of their pockets and think that the Constitution and democracy of the country are in their pockets." Recalling his tenure as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, the Prime Minister made serious allegations against the then central government.
