Rahul's Slander Cost Him His Seat | Will Mallikarjun Kharge's Gaali Cost Cong 'Gaddi'? |The Newshour

In this episode of The Newshour, the host Navika Kumar will discuss how on Thursday, Congress President M. Mallikarjun Kharge compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "a poisonous snake," prompting an angry response from the BJP, despite his attempts to emphasise that his comments were directed against the BJP's philosophy and not at any one person. Speaking in Kannada to a crowd during an election rally in Ron, Gadag district, Kharge declared: "Modi is like a deadly snake. Avoid attempting to lick this snake to see if it is poisonous. You will die if you even consume it. Later, he clarified his remarks, explaining that he had intended to indicate that the BJP was like a snake. "I did not refer to Modi in that way. I've already said that I don't criticise specific people. I claimed that the BJP's philosophy was lethal. In response to questions from the media, he replied, "Death is definite if you embrace the ideology and want to taste it. The BJP attacked the Congress leader and said that he had gone beyond the bounds of polite conversation. Dharmendra Pradhan, a Union Minister and the BJP's electoral coordinator for Karnataka, claimed that the Congress frequently refers to Modi by a variety of monikers. We are joined by a few panelists who will be expressing their views on this issue. “Jo Rome sanskriti ke niwaasi hai, vo Ram-Shiv sanskriti se ghabraate hai. Isliye inko naag se bhi dar lagta hai, hum toh vo hai jo naag ki bhi pooja karte hai,” stated Shehzad Poonawalla, BJP Spokesperson.

This chap is above 80, but he still wants to hide behind the Italian saree
There is one thing called self respect.

[kapilsinghel]

He does not need to stoop to be at this position. That is where he always was, he is and will be like other congress men.

[esivaramaniyer]

I love modiji who live for the nation.

[anupamchowdhury]

Kharge ji is one of the senior most leaders in Congress . It's sad to see his plight since he has to obey the commands of RG and SG as a token of loyalty .
Viewers pity his condition ..😂

[vishal_phonix]

as an indian in foreign country, when such news goes out via social media, it potrays such a bad image of Indian politicians and indian society, where PM can be abused anytime anywhere by anyone.
it is so shocking to see that these are elected candidates, who doesnt even have basic dignity. these people will lead the country, definitely, towards disaster

[prabalchoudhury]

What Better One Can Expect from CHORGRESS and Its Leaders ?

[shekarb]

What else one can expect from kharge, does he knows to speak about economy, development,

[sreekumarnair]

Kharge is in the habit of licking the feet of Gandhis, a quality that is generally attributed to a particular animal. This habit may be prompting him to lick everyone and everything that he come across like snakes and humans. He is even thinking of licking Modiji. Kharge तो आदत से मजबूर हे 😅

[bhugowandeensuryakumar]

The remark kharge did for Modi illustrates that he himself is a gande nare ke khire

[PeacefulSecularGuy]

South Indian are not known for this type of knowledge
Sad and shameful

[vinayakphadke]

It alleged that Mallikarjun Kharge has a total asset of 400 crores ! Let ED investigate the crook and bring his senses back !

[thanapillai]

It shows their frustration. And it shows they have lost the battle with BJP.

[bharatkaul]

Such type of remarks are not for election battles but this is in the heart n minds of Congress leaders, be it any time dick and harry of Congress. This party should NOT only be rooted out of Karnatka but from our pious homeland Bharatvarsh. They are shameless people n we do not want to spoil our tongue by spelling out their names. Shame on them.

[joymukherjee]

PAPPU BRAND POLITICS HAS GONE UP WITH THE WINDS BY OUR COURT VERDICT. ONCE AGAIN PROVING HE IS A HALF BACKED GREENHORN POLITICIAN

[peace]

What do any one expect from 80 years old politician.

[chettiarsbc]

Soon Congress will be just a paragraph in history.

[anitamaru]

We love modiji and Bjp, they are nationalist and good for the national. God bless Modiji and team amitji with long life and good health

[sreekumar]

Congress is a such a low party please Karnataka people boycott Congress appeasement politics Rahul Gandi Insulted our OBC community

[attamprakashmadhwani]

Any Congressman whether the party president or any office bearer will read the script written by the GANDHI family. What is wrong if he played the record of HIS MASTER'S voice? the hallmark of quality television and radio records. He is no more than a toad.

[debasishbhattacharya]

Congress and other oppositions parties more they use such types of words against PM Modi . More the people of India will support PM Modi .Current political history speaks so.
