Union Minister Anurag Thakur took a swipe at the Congress's Priyank Kharge

New Delhi:

Hitting out at the Congress, Union minister Anurag Thakur on Monday said Priyank Kharge is "outdoing" his father and party chief Mallikarjun Kharge in "abuse politics" by insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"Galibaj (abusive) Congress count your days, Karnataka will give a befitting reply to you," Thakur wrote on Twitter.

He said Congress leaders have resorted to "abusing" Modi, his family and community after seeing the "overwhelming support" for the prime minister among the people of Karnataka.

"Congress leaders are frustrated to see people of Karnataka extending overwhelming support to PM Shri Narendra Modi ji. Hence Cong leaders have again resorted to abuse Modiji, his family and community," the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said.

"After Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's poisonous snake remark, son Priyank outdoing father in 'abuse politics' has insulted our PM as Nalayak Beta," he added.

Priyank Kharge called Modi "nalayak" (worthless) on Monday and drew the ire of the BJP brass, while the Congress claimed that such a remark was never made by him.
