PM Modi had on Tuesday mocked Rahul Gandhi as "Murkhon Ke Sardar" without taking his name at a rally in Madhya Pradesh.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his "murkho ke sardar" (leader of the fools) remark against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stating that it was unfortunate for the PM to say such things since he holds a post of dignity.
Addressing reporters at an event in Jaipur, Mr Gehlot said, "It is very unfortunate. The Prime Minister's post holds dignity...The more it is criticised, the less it is. If a man holds a position of dignity but says things like this, what can you expect from him?"
While referring to the alleged "Lal Diary," Mr Gehlot said, "I feel that this conspiracy was hatched at the Home Ministry, Government of India. It was named 'Laal Diary' there...Together with our minister who was misused, BJP leaders conspired by speaking to him."
