PM Modi takes a dig at Rahul Gandhi: 'Some people are trying to teach me democracy'
His veiled attack comes after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi recently said there is no democracy in India.
The peaceful election of Jammu and Kashmir’s District Development Council is a mirror to those who teach me democracy every day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday, attacking the opposition once again. “Jammu and Kashmir elected their representatives within such a short span after it became a Union Territory. But Puducherry is not conducting elections despite Supreme Court order and those who are in power there teach me democracy every day,” PM Modi said.

PM Modi takes a dig at Rahul Gandhi:
Days after Rahul Gandhi claimed “there is no democracy in India”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday took a dig at the Congress leader saying that those who are blocking local body polls in Puducherry are trying to give him lessons in democracy.
PM Modi also took a swipe at Congress saying that a “big mistake” of those who were in power for decades in the country was ignoring development of border regions. “Border shelling has always been a matter of concern. The work on the construction of bunkers in borders areas. Including Samba, Poonch and Kathua is being done at a fast pace.”

On the Ayushman Bharat scheme, he said it will ensure universal health coverage and quality. Also, affordable essential health services to all. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Union Territory’s Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, also spoke on the occasion.
