On Thursday, Rahul Gandhi made a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government over the ongoing farmer protests. In his statement, Gandhi said there was "no democracy" in India and those who stood up against the PM were labelled terrorists, "even if it was (RSS chief) Mohan Bhagwat".

There is no democracy in India, it is only in imagination, not in reality, alleges Rahul Gandhi after meeting president on farm laws issue

"PM Modi is making money for the crony capitalists. Whoever will try to stand against him will be called a terrorist - be it farmers, labourers and even Mohan Bhagwat," the Congress leader said, referring to the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the BJP's ideological mentor.

"There is no democracy in India. If you think there is, it's in your imagination".

Well, this remark has left people on Twitter divided with mixed reactions.

Here’s how people on the micro-blogging site reacted to his blatant remark:

Exactly! Democracy has been crushed by this government
