Madhya Pradesh: Scindia Slams Rahul Gandhi For 'Langde Ghode' Comment | PTI

Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh): Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Thursday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for using a term allegedly demeaning to people with disabilities (PwDs) and reminded him of how Prime Minister Narendra Modi had coined the word 'divyangjan' for them.

Without naming Gandhi, Scindia added that some people continue to use abusive language instead of revering the PM for such welcome changes.

Gandhi had used the term ‘langde ghode’ during his visit to Bhopal on June 3. It was in the context of removing dead wood and infusing fresh blood into the Congress to make it fighting fit in Madhya Pradesh, where it has been out of power since 2003, except for a brief 15-month period from December 2018 to March 2020.

Plants sapling on Environment Day

Scindia planted a sapling at Rajmata Chhatri in Gwalior on Thursday as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign, paying tribute to his late mother, Rajmata Madhavi Raje Scindia, on World Environment Day.

He also offered floral tributes at the statue of his ancestor, Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia, on his 100th death anniversary at Inderganj intersection.

Praising the Maharaja’s legacy, Scindia highlighted his contributions to education, health, irrigation, and institution-building, which remain integral to the region’s heritage.
