New Delhi: Hitting out at Mallikarjun Kharge for his disparaging "personal" remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP on Sunday said the Congress chief is using language "associated with thugs and hooligans", reflecting the "ideological bankruptcy" of his party that appears more like a "mafia gang".
The ruling party's strong reaction followed Kharge's outburst during a function on the 139th birth anniversary of Bihar's first chief minister, Shrikrishna Singh, in Patna, where he said that the Congress will send those involved in carrying out alleged irregularities in the SIR process to jail.
