India’s Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said Parliament is the voice of the people but the Prime Minister is treating the inauguration of the new Parliament building like "coronation". AICC general secretary, K C Venugopal said, "It is the upper caste, anti-backward mindset of the RSS because of which they are denied the respect that their high
constitutional office deserves. Their deliberate exclusion shows PM Modi will use them as tokens for his electoral politics, but will not allow them to be part of such significant and historic occasions."
