Taking serious exception to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks that the Congress, based on its election manifesto, will snatch mangalasutra from women, AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge hit back stating that the Prime Minister must be ashamed for stooping to such a low level.
“We have ruled the country for 55 years. We introduced land reforms, abolished bonded labour, nationalised banks and carried out many such monumental works. We have helped the poor. We never resorted to snatching mangalasutra or something else from people,” he said at a public meeting in Afzalpur of Kalaburagi district on Wednesday.
The meeting was organised as part of the party’s campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections in the State.
