'They Come To India Only Before Elections': Watch Ravi Kishan's 'Angrez' Jibe At Shashi Tharoor

BJP's Ravi Kishan hit back at Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, calling him an "angrez aadmi" who "visits India during elections".

Just days ahead of the last phase of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ravi Kishan hit back at Congress MP Shashi Tharoor for his "it will be difficult for them (BJP) to even cross 300 seats" remark, calling him an "angrez aadmi" who "visits India during elections".

Ravi Kishan is BJP's candidate from Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur Lok Sabha constituency.

Lashing out at the Congress MP for his remark, BJP MP Ravi Kishan said: "Shashi Tharoor is 'angrez aadmi'. We go to Manali and Shimla on vacations, they come to India during elections. They neither know the country nor its villages. They don't know this sweat..."

Talking about working for the inclusion of Bhojpuri in the 8th schedule of the Constitution, the Gorakhpur candidate said: "I have always spoken Bhojpuri...My speeches have been in Bhojpuri. This is our mother tongue, our identity. Bhojpuri made me a superstar. We fought the fight for Bhojpuri and a Bill was brought in for the inclusion of the language in the 8th schedule (of the Constitution)...The youth will not leave their identity."

The seventh and last phase of the Lok Sabha elections 2024 will be held on June 1 across eight states and Union Territories for 57 parliamentary constituencies. The result will be announced on June 4.
