Congress's Rahul Gandhi became the first leader of the party to openly criticize senior leader Kamal Nath for his "item" remark on Imarti Devi, a BJP candidate for the by-elections in Madhya Pradesh. "Kamal Nath-ji is from my party but personally, I don't like the type of language that he used... I don't appreciate it, regardless of who he is. It is unfortunate," Mr Gandhi told reporters today.
