Congress Has Become "Kitty Party", People Only Joke Around: Union Minister

"At first, the Congress party was a ''mulk ki party'' (national party) then it became the "mohalla ki party" and now it has become a ''kitty party'' where their people only joke around," Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.

Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Sunday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his "friend monopoly'' remark and said the party has become a ''kitty party'' in which they only joke around. "Such jokes are the reason why the party has witnessed degradation. At first, the Congress party was a ''mulk ki party'' (national party) then it became the "mohalla ki party" and now it has become a ''kitty party'' where their people only joke around. What they talk about has no logic and sense," Mr Naqvi said while speaking to ANI. "During Covid, Prime Minister Narendra helped everyone who was stuck in another country irrespective of caste or religion. So people should think before saying anything," he added. This comes after Mr Gandhi upping the ante against the government over its asset monetisation pipeline scheme took a jibe at the Centre and wrote, "The country is talking about friend-monopoly," with the hashtag "IndiaOnSale" on Twitter to attack the government.
