Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar should be expelled from the party for his "
neech" remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Samajwadi Party patron Mulayam Singh Yadav said.
"The word 'neech' used for the prime minister by a Congress leader is certainly wrong... A person who has uttered such a statement should not just be suspended, but expelled from the party," Yadav told reporters in Etawah yesterday.
He said positive politics has virtually vanished, and "politics of mud-slinging" has become a common phenomenon.
"There has been a paradigm shift in the country's politics, 'sakaratmak rajniti' (positive politics) has virtually vanished, and politics of mud-slinging (keechad uchaalne ki rajniti) has become a common phenomenon," Yadav said.
Aiyar was suspended from the Congress earlier this week after he called the prime minister a "neech kism ka aadmi" (vile sort of man).
