Barwani (Madhya Pradesh), Oct 25 Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Sunday condemned Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s remark referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s father, saying political discourse should maintain decorum.
Speaking to reporters at Gayatri Dham in Jamli during his visit to Barwani district, Yadav said it was unfortunate that Congress dragged Modi’s late parents into politics for its narrow political interests.
“I strongly condemn it in the harshest terms. One should engage in politics, but decorum must be maintained,” he said.
Yadav said the remark had exposed the Congress’s character before the country and that people would not forgive the party.
The controversy erupted over Kharge’s remark at an event in Patna on Sunday to mark the 139th birth anniversary of Bihar’s first chief minister Shrikrishna Singh.
Responding to Kharge’s statement that the Congress will send those involved in carrying out alleged irregularities in the SIR process to jail, a person from the audience shouted, “As long as there is no rebellion, (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi won’t go anywhere.”
The Congress president shot back, saying, “Modi ka baap bhi jayega” (Let alone Modi, even his father would go).
