New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi indirectly referred to an interview of Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar conducted by ABP News in which the latter compared the Congress to Mughal era to support Rahul Gandhi. Addressing a rally in Gujarat’s Dharampur, Modi termed the elevation as “Aurangzeb raj” and quoted couple of lines of Aiyar. “Mani Shankar Aiyar said that 'did elections happen during Mughal rule? After Jehangir, Shahjahan came, was any election held? After Shahjahan it was understood Aurangzeb will be the leader'. So Congress accepts it’s a family party? We don't want this Aurangzeb rule,” Modi said.
