"Made Enough In Name Of Gandhis": Karnataka Congress MLA's Loaded Remark
NDTV
"We have earned enough to last us for the next three to four generations in the name of Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi," KR Ramesh Kumar said
Congress MLA and former speaker in Karnataka assembly KR Ramesh Kumar, known for his unfiltered comments, has set off another controversy, saying Congress leaders have "made enough" in the name of Nehru-Gandhis "to last us for next three to four generations".
Speaking at the Congress party's protest held in Freedom Park in Bengaluru as party chief Sonia Gandhi was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate, Mr Kumar said, "We have earned enough to last us for the next three to four generations in the name of Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi".
"Now, if we are not ready to repay those debts, I am afraid the food we eat will be infested with worms," he added.
The remarks are expected to play in the hands of the state's ruling BJP, which has repeatedly accused the Congress of corruption. It is also not likely to endear Mr Kumar to his colleagues, several of whom are under the scanner of Central investigating agencies.
