“He thinks that it becomes his birthright to rule the country since he is born into a certain family. He considers himself above the Constitution, court and Parliament,” Vaishnaw said.

“He considers himself above the country’s institutions. Rahul Gandhi thinks no court can give a judgement against him… He thinks that the provision in the Constitution for disqualification should not be applied to him because he is in politics with a feeling of entitlement,” he added.
