On Friday BJP hit back at Congress over the allegations that Congress President has been humiliated. BJP said that during the UPA regime Congress never invited BJP president to the front row and what Congress doing at the moment is a cheap politics.
Congress President Rahul Gandi was allotted forth row during the Republic but on the day he was pushed further back into the fourth row which has infuriated Congress.
“The arrogant rulers deliberately seated Congress president Rahul Gandhi in the fourth row, then the sixth row, on Republic Day, discarding all convention. For us celebrating the Republic is above all,” Congress communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala tweeted in Hindi.
Rahul Gandhi was made to sit in the sixth row along with the leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Though Sonia Gandhi was given the front row in the last three years , it was not maintained in the case of Rahul Gandhi.

“Where did Rajnath Singh ji and Nitin Gadkari ji sit as BJP chiefs at Republic Day events during the Congress-led UPA government,” BJP national spokesperson Anil Baluni said.
“But unlike the Congress, the BJP does not stoop so low and believes in a healthy democracy,” Baluni added.
There are also reports that though Rahul Gandhi was initially sitting in the fourth row, he was later shifted to sixth row.
