Days after Mallikarjun Kharge sparked a firestorm by equating Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a “poisonous snake,” his son Priyank Kharge outdid his father by referring to the country’s highest officer as “nalayak beta” (useless son).
“… When PM Modi visited Kalaburgi, he stated, “Aap sab dariye mat, Banjara community ka ek beta Delhi mein baitha hai” (Do not be afraid, a Banjara community son is sitting in Delhi). Aisa nalayak beta baithega toh ghar kaise chalega (How will the house be run if the son is useless)?” According to Priyank Kharge.
Priyank’s father, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, had previously described PM Modi as a “poisonous snake.” However, he later clarified his remark, stating that his remark was not meant to offend anyone.
“PM Modi is like a ‘poisonous snake’. You might check if it’s poison or not. But if you lick it, you’re dead,” Kharge had said at an election rally.
Slamming Priyank Kharge’s “nalayak” barb at PM Modi, BJP leader Shobha Karandlaje said, “The Congress president said in a campaign speech that Prime Minister Modi is a poisonous snake. Now, his son has gone a step further, calling him a ‘nalayak beta’. Priyanka Gandhi called PM Modi Hitler. Congress should know that he is not the BJP’s PM but of the entire India. The people of Karnataka love him. They have shown their respect for him (during roadshows) in the last two days.”
PM Modi slammed the Congress for equating him to a venomous snake, saying the people of Karnataka will give the grand old party a “befitting answer” in the upcoming Assembly elections.
Lashing out at the Congress, PM Modi said, “Today, when I am fighting against corruption, the Congress can’t take it. They are now threatening me. They are saying ‘Modi teri kabra khudegi’ (your grave will be dug). It seems the Congress’ only talking point in Karnataka is snake poison. They are comparing me to a snake and seeking votes on it. For me, the people of the country are like Lord Shiva. I prefer being the snake adorning the necks of the people who I see as god. The people of Karnataka will give them a befitting answer on May 10.”
Votes for the Karnataka Assembly elections will be counted on May 13.
