PM Modi’s dig at Rahul over London speech: ‘Unfortunate that questions were raised on India’s democracy’
It is unfortunate that in London questions were raised on India’s democracy. No power in this world can harm India’s democratic traditions, but some are making it stand in the dock, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Karnataka.
PM Modi in Karnataka: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday took a dig at Rahul Gandhi over Congress leader’s speech during his recent visit to London when he raised questions on the Indian democratic system.
“India is not only the largest democracy but is the mother of democracy… it’s unfortunate that in London questions were raised about India’s democracy… some people are constantly questioning India’s democracy…,” PM Modi said in Karnataka’s Hubballi-Dharwad
In an apparent referrence to Gandhi’s remarks made in London — that structures of Indian democracy are under “brutal attack”, the Prime Minister termed it an insult to 12th century social reformer Basaveshwara, the people of Karnataka, India’s great traditions and its citizens.

“I have come to the land of Bhagwan Basaveshwar and I’m feeling blessed. Among the contributions of Basaveshwara most important is the establishment of Anubhava Mantapa; this democratic system is researched across the world, and there are several such things because of which we say India is not just the largest democracy, it is also the mother of democracy,” Modi said.
Addressing the issue of development, PM Modi said, “In 21st century, India is progressing by modernising its cities. In last 9 years, number of good educational institutions has been increasing constantly.. IIT Dharwad is ready as a futuristic institute.”
Today, India is one of the most powerful digital economies in the world… BJP’s double engine government is honestly working for development of every village & district in Karnatak, the Prime Minister said.
In another dig at the Congress, PM Modi said, “Congress dreaming about my grave doesn’t know that blessings of mothers, sisters and people of the country is a protection shield for me.”
