Haryana BJP MP Arvind Sharma on Saturday issued a vile threat to the Congress - that he would "gouge out the eyes and cut off the arms" of anyone who opposed party colleague Manish Grover.
Delivered at a public event, his appalling comment was greeted with cheers and applause by the audience. He also said the Congress would "run in circles for 25 years" while the BJP - in power after stitching together an alliance with Dushyant Chautala's JJP following the 2019 election - ruled.
Manish Grover is the BJP leader who was yesterday gheraoed by angry farmers while inside a temple in Kiloi village in Rohtak district. Arvind Sharma is the BJP's MP for Rohtak.
The farmers were outraged by Grover's comments; he allegedly called those protesting the centre's new farm laws "jobless alcoholics" and "bad elements" intent on prolonging the protests.
