New Delhi: Describing the Emergency as the worst phase which the nation witnessed, RSS ideologue K.N. Govindacharya on Thursday said that people close to former prime minister Indira Gandhi had filled her mind with an impression that she was the 'saviour' of the country.

'I think people close to Indira Gandhi filled her mind with an impression that she was a saviour...It is very difficult to be polite when in power. So, she began to think that she is a saviour in true sense and must do the welfare of the nation and those opposing do not know the nation well,' Govindacharya told ANI
