Media Eye News Bureau: Congress Party President Rahul Gandhi was allotted a sixth row seat to witness the Republic Day function which the party accused Prime Minister Modi of playing “cheap politics”.
Randeep Surjewala, Communications In-charge of the Congress, tweeted that the "cheap politics" of the Modi government was evident to every one.
He said the BJP-led Central government had broken the convention under which the president of the Congress was given a front row seat.
Gandhi witnessed the parade at Rajpath seated along with Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad. Several Union ministers, including Information and Broadcasting Minister Smriti Irani, were seated in rows ahead of him.
On Thursday, Congress leaders reacted furiously following information that Gandhi has been given a fourth row seat at the parade.
