NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s “Ravan” barb at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday triggered a slugfest with the BJP slamming it as an insult of each Gujarati and the Opposition occasion calling the assault on its chief “anti-Dalit tirade”.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra requested voters in Gujarat to do “100 per cent voting for the son of the soil” Modi to take “revenge” in a democratic method for the “insult”, as he invoked numerous objectionable remarks made by Congress members over time towards the prime minister.
Taking a swipe at Modi at a rally in Behrampura space of Ahmedabad metropolis on Monday, Kharge on Monday evening mentioned the prime minister asks folks to vote “looking at his face” in all elections.
“Are you 100-headed like Ravan,” he had mentioned.
Taking a robust exception to the remarks, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel in a tweet mentioned, “Bereft of any development agenda and support from the people, the Congress is out to abuse Gujarat and Gujaratis.”
“The statement made by Kharge ji against PM Narendra Modiji is a testimony to their hate for Gujaratis. The people of Gujarat will reject them this time too for such behaviour,” Patel added.
The BJP’s IT division head, Amit Malviya, mentioned in a tweet, “Unable to take the heat of Gujarat election, pushed to the fringe, Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge loses control over his words, calls Prime Minister Narendra Modi ‘Ravan’. From ‘Maut ka Saudagar’ to ‘Ravan’, Congress continues to insult Gujarat and it’s son.”
Slamming Malviya, Congress’ media division head Pawan Khera requested “why can’t you digest the fact that a Dalit who has worked his way up is the elected president of the Congress”.
“Calling him fringe shows what you and your party thinks of Dalits,” Khera mentioned.
Hitting again at Malviya, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate mentioned, “You have the audacity to call a man who comes from the most deprived background, who has won elections for the last 55 years — fringe? We are proud of @kharge Ji as Cong Prez, it’s time you stop your anti-Dalit tirade. You and your fake news peddling brigade is the fringe,” she mentioned.
At a press convention, Patra alleged Kharge was voicing the views of former Congress presidents Sonia and Rahul Gandhi.
Personal assaults on Modi began with Sonia Gandhi’s “maut ka saudagar” (service provider of demise) remarks throughout the 2007 Gujarat meeting polls, he mentioned.
“What Kharge said is condemnable and shows the mindset of the Congress. This is not merely an insult of Modi but of every Gujarati,” he mentioned.
The Congress has denigrated the put up of the prime minister, he added, holding that Modi is now recognised as a world chief by nations around the globe.
Congress chief Madhusudan Mistry had lately mentioned Modi will probably be proven his “aukat”, Patra famous.
