Belagavi BJP spokesperson condemns Congress MLA's insulting statement towards Prime Minister Modi, sparking controversy in Karnataka.
BJP spokesperson Malavika Avinash condemned on Wednesday a statement by Congress MLA Raju Kage that she said amounted to insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mr. Kage has said: ”If Mr. Modi dies, is there no other person to become Prime Minister among the 140 crore population?” This statement was made at a campaign rally in Mamadapur village in Belagavi district on Tuesday.
“It is an insult to the Prime Minister as it amounted to insulting the person and the position,” she said.
Ms. Avinash strongly condemned Mr. Kage’s statement. It is a “statement from a person of very low-level mentality.”
“I am sure the people will never forgive such remarks. We are confident that Mr. Modi will be elected as the Prime Minister for the third time with the blessings of the people,” she said.
Mr. Kage is a Congress MLA from Kagwad. He quit the BJP and joined the Congress along with his friend Laxman Savadi before the Assembly polls. He was addressing a campaign rally in favour of Congress candidate from Chikkodi Priyanka Jarkiholi.
He wanted to know why the BJP campaign was centred around one person. “Youth chant Modi... Modi... Modi in all rallies, political or non-political. Why is that? This is a parliamentary democracy where the government is run by the Council of Ministers who are answerable to the two Houses of Parliament. Some people are saying they want leaders like Satish Jarkiholi and Mr. Savadi in the State and Mr. Modi at the Centre. That is illogical,” he said.
