Prime Minister Narendra Modi made reference to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s “Ravan” remark and claimed that there is an internal race within the party to see who can insult Modi more. On December 5, as voting for the first phase of the election is to take place, Prime Minister Modi addressed a crowd in Kalol, Gujarat, about the second phase of the election. “The competition is on who can abuse Modi more, who can deliver the most stinging attack,” he said.
As he spoke, PM Modi also alluded to the “aukaat” remark made by Congress leader Madhusudan Mistry, who claimed that the election would reveal PM Modi’s “aukaat.” “Then respected Kharge ji compared me to Ravana,” Prime Minister Modi blasted the Congress.
“Some call me a demon, some call me a cockroach,” PM Modi said.
“Those who never believed in the existence of Lord Ram have now brought in (demon king) ‘Ravan’ from the Ramayana.” And, I am surprised they never expressed repentance, forget about tendering an apology, after using such cuss words for me,” the PM said.
On Tuesday, addressing a rally in Gujarat, Mallikarjun Kharge asked whether PM Modi has 100 heads as he is the face of all elections, be it the civic election or the assembly election. “PM Modi always talks about himself. ‘Don’t look at anyone, just look at Modi and vote’. How many times do we have to look at you? We have to see your face in the corporation election, the MLA election, and the MP election. Do you have 100 faces like Ravan? What is it?” Kharge said, triggering a row.
