Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that
AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, like the former prime minister Manohan
Singh, is being remote controlled by the Congress high command.
Mr Modi also took a dig at Bihar
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, without taking his name, for using derogatory language
against women in the state Assembly while delivering a speech on population
control.
Addressing three public meetings in the Bundelk-
hand and Gwalior- Chambal regions of Madhya Pradesh, Mr Modi said that people
had given the Congress the opportunity to rule the country for 10 years from
2004-2014.
"But people were then not aware of what the then Prime Minister (Mr Singh) was doing and what he was saying. Because he hardly had any work to do," he said, adding, "Earlier, the Prime Minister used to be remote-controlled; these days, the Congress president is being remote-controlled (by the Congress high command)."
