Lashing out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks that people have to choose between a 'majboor' (helpless) or a 'majboot' (strong) government in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the Congress on Saturday said that the fight in the general elections will be between dictatorship and democracy.

Addressing a press conference at the party office in New Delhi, senior Congress leader Manish Tewari said, "The fight for Lok Sabha polls will be between dictatorship and democracy."

Tewari made these remarks in response to Modi's assertion at the BJP's national convention that the opposition parties are coming together as they want to form a 'majboor' (helpless) government to promote nepotism and corruption, whereas the BJP wants a 'majboot' (strong) dispensation for all-round development.
