BJP spokesperson Malavika Avinash condemned on Wednesday a statement by Congress MLA Raju Kage that she said amounted to insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mr. Kage has said: ”If Mr. Modi dies, is there no other person to become Prime Minister among the 140 crore population?” This statement was made at a campaign rally in Mamadapur village in Belagavi district on Tuesday.
“It is an insult to the Prime Minister as it amounted to insulting the person and the position,” she said.
