The assertion by party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate came after she was asked about former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot's remarks that during Tuesday's event the prime minister had "praised" Mr Gehlot and it should not be taken lightly.
The Congress on Wednesday said Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot did not praise Prime Minister Narendra Modi but showed him the mirror at an event in Mangarh.
The assertion by party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate came after she was asked about former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot's remarks that during Tuesday's event the prime minister had "praised" Mr Gehlot and it should not be taken lightly.
Asked at a press conference about the remarks by Pilot, who had led a rebellion in 2020 against the chief minister, Ms Shrinate said, "You asked me a question on what Ashok Gehlot ji was talking about... With my own little understanding, I think that he did not praise the PM, he showed a mirror to Modi ji in the gathering."
"If I tell the person sitting next to me that your respect is not from you, your respect is because you come from a country which is Gandhi ji's country, Nehru ji's country, Ambedkar ji's country, where democracy is strong, I think this would be a matter of insult. I don't know who sees respect in this," she said.
