"Only One Family Ruled The Country And Then Everyone Knows What Happened": PM Modi

PM Modi told the Lok Sabha: "There were ups and down, there were challenges but I want to appreciate the people of India that they stood with the Constitution. I want to state some facts. The Congress has harmed the Constitution. For 55 years, only one family ruled the country and every citizen should know what happened to the country."

He continued: "From 1947 to 1952, there was no elected government in India. It was a selected government and no election took place for seven years. In 1951, when there was no elected government, they came with an ordinance that attacked the fundamental rights of the people and amended the Constitution, and this was a disregard to the makers of the Constitution."
