Today, after meeting President Ram Nath Kovind seeking his intervention into the impasse between protesting farmers and the Centre over the latter’s new agricultural reform laws, Rahul Gandhi while addressing media claimed there was “no democracy” in India.
He said, “You have an incompetent man who does not understand anything & running a system on the behalf of 3 or 4 other people who understand everything”.

https://twitter.com/nkantsingh/status/1342009941360398336?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwCongress scion-Rahul Gandhi has been quite perturbed these days. Failing to recall that it was his own party which had in its 2019 election manifesto promised similar reforms which the Modi government has offered to the farmers, Rahul Gandhi has been relentlessly ‘fighting for the rights’ of the farmers. It doesn’t end here. There is also an extensive trail of evidence of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh advocating for states to amend the APMC act and give more freedom to the farmer.
And the lesser Rahul Gandhi, Indira Gandhi’s grandson, speaks about democracy, the better.
