Congress is the shameless party that insulted Narendra Modi’s father. I want to say to Mallikarjuna Kharge Sahib that “You are the President of a political party today. What is the history of that political party? Rahul Gandhi makes a Dalit leader remove his shoes, she recalled.
“For the first time in the country, if a tribal woman is nominated as the presidential candidate, the Congress party will make disparaging remarks about her. Your party has made a star propagandist of insulting Hindu society. Congress party seeks support from SDPI and talks about releasing of PFI criminals from jail. Today, Congress leaders are once again bashing Narendra Modi. Kharge Saheb is older than me, this insecurity is not good for you,” she added.
They used to say, “Remove Modi and bring vaccine from abroad. But India’s vaccine has been exported to 160 countries under the able leadership of Modi. Everyone knows about D. .K Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah’s fight. She said that we are fighting for the future of the people of the state.
State BJP Election In-Charge Dharmendra Pradhan said, “I know Prime Minister Narendra Modi closely. Prime Minister Modi has great respect for Mallikarjuna Kharge.
