Kamal Nath Goof-Up Leads To "Age Factor" Jibe From Madhya Pradesh Minister

Kamal Nath had allegedly called the 'death anniversary' of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi as his "birth anniversary".

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Monday took a jibe at former Chief Minister Kamal Nath for allegedly calling the 'death anniversary' of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi his "birth anniversary", and said that age factor had taken a toll on him (Kamal Nath).

"Clearly, age factor has taken a toll on Kamal Nath as he is calling the death anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi ji as 'birth anniversary'," Mr Mishra said while speaking to reporters on Monday.

Congress leader Kamal Nath made the faux pas while addressing a program organised at the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) office in the state capital Bhopal on the death anniversary of former PM Rajiv Gandhi on Sunday (May 21).

Mr Mishra further slammed Mr Nath for the announcements of the Congress party ahead of the assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh scheduled later this year.
