Cong reserved democracy as right of only one family: Patra

BJP national spokesman Sambit Patra today countered senior Congress leader Mallikarjuna Kharge's claim that the party "preserved" democracy in the country, and said it, instead, "reserved" democracy as the right of only one family.

Kharge had yesterday said in Mumbai that "a chaiwala like him (Narendra Modi) could become Prime Minister because we preserved democracy."
Mocking the Congress leader's statement, Patra, on his maiden visit to Patna, said, "Kharge jee, you did not preserve the democracy, you reserved it as the right of only one family. Congress carried the democracy as a legacy of a family. First, it was Nehru, then Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and now Rahul Gandhi."
