Speaking at Agenda Aaj Tak in New Delhi today, Brinda Karat said, "Contesting elections has become very costly, It is being influenced by coroporates in big manner. Electoral reform is necessary for parties like us, Proportional representation may be thought of," Brinda Karat added. She said, "It is not good that the prime minister ridicules a former female prime minister at Morbi (in Gujarat) to drive one's point during election campaign." Brinda Karat also slammed PM Modi for referring to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's great-grandfather Nehru in the context of Somnath temple controversy. This is not good for the democratic system of the country," Brinda Karat said.
