N Ramchander Rao criticised the Congress leader for claiming democracy was destroyed in India in 2014.
Telangana BJP President N Ramchander Rao on Sunday demanded an apology from Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi following remarks made about Indian democracy. According to The News Mill and ANI, Rao's comments came after Gandhi's speech at the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad.
Speaking at the two-day summit held at the HICC Novotel venue, Gandhi alleged that democracy was destroyed in India in 2014. He claimed that millions of dollars were injected into the political system, which upturned the electoral and coalition landscape.
Rao condemned the attack on the BJP and the country, reminding the Congress party of the Emergency period. He stated that the Congress party had previously dismissed several democratically elected governments while in power.
The Telangana BJP chief also criticised the involvement of a foreign political leader in domestic matters, referring to 'Vote Chor' remarks. Rao said that an Italian political leader interfering in sovereign matters was insulting to the nation and its people.
The summit featured Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and delegates from around 70 countries. Gandhi made his remarks on the concluding day of the event.
