Recently, Mallikarjun Kharge, the Congress chief, called the PM a ‘poisonous snake’, and now his son Priyank Kharge has made an objectionable remark against PM Modi at an election rally in Karnataka.
Priyank Kharge’s objectionable remark
Recently, Priyank Kharge made a derogatory comment about PM Modi’s statement that a son of the Banjara community was in Delhi. Priyank Kharge questioned the usefulness of the son (PM Modi) who cannot contribute to running the household. He called Modi a 'nalayak beta.'

The BJP strongly condemned Priyank Kharge’s indecent language and criticized the Congress for resorting to such tactics. BJP leader Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, who worked with Mallikarjun Kharge, expressed his disappointment with the leader and stated that Kharge’s son was following in his father’s footsteps.
