‘Not able to digest…’ : Pralhad Joshi takes dig at opposition

Hindustan Times  

Union minister Pralhad Joshi on Tuesday slammed the opposition for using “filthy language” against prime minister Narendra Modi. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi Joshi's comments come a week after Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge's “Modi is a poisonous snake” attack at an election rally in Kalaburagi. Kharge later claimed he was referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party's ideology and not the prime minister but by then the commment had provoked furious responses from several BJP leaders, including union minister Smriti Irani. Joshi's remarks also come after Congress leader and ex-Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah's comment last month - that 'PM Modi is not God to bless anyone'.
