A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Congress leader Rahul Gandhi "murkho ke sardar" at a rally in Madhya Pradesh, senior Congress leader and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday lashed out at PM Modi and said that his remarks on Rahul was "unfortunate" as the Prime Minister holds a post of dignity.
"It is very unfortunate. The Prime Minister's post holds dignity...The more it is criticised, the less it is. If a man holds a position of dignity but says things like this, what can you expect from him?..." said Gehlot at a press conference in Rajasthan capital Jaipur, reported ANI.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut also took a dig at PM Modi for his comment on Rahul Gandhi and said BJP "discuss and think about Rahul Gandhi" and fears about the support he enjoys.
"They discuss and think about Rahul Gandhi; this is the success of Rahul Gandhi... They have fear about the support that Rahul Gandhi gets... You had made a declaration about a Congress-free India... You saw the dream of Shiv Sena-free Maharashtra... Democracy cannot be sustained in a country by making it free from any political party....," Raut was quoted as saying by ANI.
