In an interview to the media, Ahluwalia said that if Rahul Gandhi were a member of the Manmohan Cabinet, then the other thing would have happened, but he was the vice-president of a party. It is notable that in 2013, Rahul Gandhi tore an ordinance over the case of a convicted MP. The Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia has mentioned in detail the incident in his new book 'Backstage: The Story of India's high-growth years.'

Regarding this matter, Montek Singh Ahluwalia said, "You should realize that in a democracy there is nothing inappropriate in having disagreements within a party. I think that there is no need for much competence to run such a party, where everyone's views just match the thinking of the leadership of the party." Montek further said, "I think Rahul Gandhi himself has said that maybe the words he used were not very right. I think Rahul has completely rubbished things somewhere."
