Congress's Adhir Ranjan defends ‘Pagla Modi’ remark after backlash

Hindustan Times  

West Bengal Congress chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Wednesday stoked a controversy by allegedly saying the prime minister is “Pagla Modi”. Chowdhury, however, later clarified saying he was echoing the “sentiments" of the public and was just conveying how people are reacting to the Centre's decision to withdraw ₹2,000 currency notes. Reacting to the recent meeting that took place between Aam Aadmi Party boss Arvind Kejriwal, and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, Chowdhury said: “There is growing frustration among the people of India towards Modi. With public sentiment turning against Modi, parties like the AAP and the TMC are attempting to regain relevance.” Hitting back, Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party's chief Sukanta Majumdar called Ranjan a “repeated offender," and demanded an apology for the comments.
