New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took a swipe at the government, alleging that it wants to get rid of democracy.
Taking to Twitter, he said, "Under Mr Modi, reform equals theft. That's why they need to get rid of democracy," Gandhi said, using the hashtag "TooMuchDemocracy".
Under Mr Modi
— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) December 9, 2020
Reform = Theft.
That’s why they need to get rid of democracy. #TooMuchDemocracy
Gandhi's tweet came after Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant's comment during a virtual event on Tuesday.
"Tough reforms are very difficult in the Indian context, we have too much of democracy...You needed political will to carry out these reforms (mining, coal, labour, agriculture) and many more reforms still need to be done," Kant had said.
