Hyderabad, Jan. 14 -- Telangana BJP president N. Ramchander Rao on Wednesday criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks, advising him to study his party's history.

He added that today India enjoys real democracy, economic freedom, and political liberty under democratic leadership.

Speaking to ANI, Rao said, Rahul Gandhi's grandmother disrespected the judiciary, imposed emergency, and sidelined constitutional institutions, unlike today's real democracy.

"Rahul Gandhi should know his own Congress Party's history. His grandmother did not even respect the judiciary... then they declared an emergency... all the constitutional institutions were made defunct, and only one-man rule was in place... What does democracy mean to Rahul Gandh...
