People want the count of jobs PM created, not the number of times he has been insulted, says Kharge

“People of the country want statistics of the jobs Prime Minister Narendra Modi created after promising two crores a year, but he is keeping track of the number of times he has been insulted,” commented AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge. He was responding to Prime Minister Modi’s comment that Congress insulted him 91 times.

During a press conference in Shivamogga on Sunday, April 30, Mr. Kharge said the BJP had assured the public of bringing back black money and distributing ₹15 lakhs to each family. The people wanted to know what happened to the money. “The Prime Minister has remained silent on these promises, but he has counted the number of times he has been insulted,” he said.

Many times, Kharge said, Narendra Modi insulted Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi with various comments. “We don’t keep track of the number of times he insulted our leaders. Only he must know this figure as well,” he said.
