Aurangzeb system of rule of succession suits Congress, mocks Modi

Dharampur : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday slammed Congress for showing desperation in making "man free on bail" Rahul Gandhi as the national president of the party and maintained that such 'Aurangzeb Raj' suits the Congress befittingly. 

Referring to remarks from senior Congress leader Manishankar Aiyar that no election had taken place to decide on the successor to emperor Jahangir or Shah Jahan after him, the Prime Minister said, "Yeh Aurangzeb Raj unko mubarak (Such Aurangzeb system rule of succession suits Congress)".

Criticising the move to make Mr Gandhi the Congress president, Mr Modi said, "Other parties would re-think even to make a man out on bail a block president but the Congress party is going ahead to make such a man their national president." (UNI)
