Kharge ups the ante against PM before Phase-4 of polling
Hindustan TimesAll India Congress Committee president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being obsessed with words beginning with the letter “M,” which was why he was talking about “Mangalsutra, Mughal, Mutton, Muslim League.” Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge being welcomed by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy in Hyderabad on Friday. Reacting sharply to the allegation levelled by Modi during his recent speech at Karimnagar that Congress MP Rahul Gandhi had received tempos loads of currency from industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, the AICC chief wondered whether Modi had shut his eyes and sleeping or was just watching when the money bags were being sent to Rahul Gandhi. Stating that Modi was not speaking like a statesman, Kharge said the former was a “jhooton ka sardar”. The Congress president said Modi and his cabinet colleague Amit Shah had stopped asking people to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party based on development, but were focussing on abusing the Congress and Rahul Gandhi.
