Taking exception to BJP leader and former Home Minister Araga Jnanendra’s sarcastic comment on All India Congress Committee (AICC) president M. Mallikarjun Kharge’s skin colour, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge held that Mr. Jnanendra’s comment is not just his words but it reeks of Keshava Krupa’s influence.
Taking to Twitter late on Wednesday, Priyank Kharge said: “The words you [Mr. Jnanendra] spoke are not just yours alone, they are the words influenced by Keshava Krupa [State Headquarters of the RSS]. They are the intolerant words hidden deep inside the BJP against the exploited.”
Specifically referring to Mr. Jnanendra’s comment on Mallikarjun Kharge’s skin colour, Priyank Kharge said that what is black is his [Mr. Jnanendra’s] mentality and not the people of Kalyana Karnataka.
