Democracy in India is a global public good and Indians are the only people who have managed democracy on an unparalleled scale, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said while participating in the ‘Thoughts for India’ conference in London on Friday. Gandhi, who is in the UK, also posted pictures of the event on Twitter in which he was seen standing with opposition leaders – RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, Manoj Jha, TMC’s Mahua Moitra and CPI(M)’s Sitaram Yechury.
