Congress and foul language
This isn’t the primary time that Congress has used derogatory and unparliamentary language for the Prime Minister of India. In a dialogue on Times Now Navbharat final month, a Congress spokesperson, Mudit Agarwal mentioned that PM Modi ‘sells his mother on TV’.
While speaking about PM Modi’s background, the Congress spokesperson mentioned, “He has by no means offered tea. He was mendacity. He is the sort of one that sells his mom on tv. 
PM Modi himself, whereas addressing a rally in 2019 had listed the abuses hurled at him by Congress. “A leader of Congress called me ‘gandi naali ka keeda’, one leader called me a mad dog, another one called me Bhasmasura. One more Congress leader, who was external affairs minister, called me a monkey while another minister compared me with Dawood Ibrahim,” Modi had mentioned. 
“They even abused my mother and even asked who my father is and remember all this was said after I became Prime Minister,” he had added additional. 
In November 2018, Congress chief Raj Babbar had mocked PM Modi’s mom by saying how the Rupee is devaluating a lot that it’s reaching her age (97/98). 
Earlier, a Congress chief and MP candidate had equated PM Modi’s and UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s aunt, mom and sister to stray cattle.
Congress, in actual fact, has by no means shied away from operating total political campaigns insulting the BJP chief. From ‘chaiwalla’ jibe to ‘chowkidaar chor hai,’ the outdated get together retains sinking to new lows.
