LIVE! Cong: Neechi rajneeti does not mean low caste, Modi twisting words

May 06, 2014 13:18

'Neech Rajneeti' means low-level politics, not 'low-caste', as usual Modi is twisting words to suit him," says Congress spokesperson Rajiv Shukla, on Narendra Modi's speech in Domariyaganj, UP. Modi said he cannot deny that he was born in a low caste and asked if it was a "crime to be born in low caste? I didn't use harsh or shallow words against the Gandhis."

After Modi's speech in Amethi yesterday, Priyanka reacted with a statement saying, "Inhone Amethi ki dharti pe mere shaheed pitaa ka apmaan kiya hai, Amethi ki janta is harkat ko kabhi maaf nahi karegi. Inki neech rajniti ka jawaab mere booth ke karyakartaa denge...Amethi ke ek ek booth se jawaab aayega..."(They have insulted my martyred father on the soil of Amethi. People of Amethi will never forgive them for this act. Workers in Amethi will reply to their low-level politics. There will be reply from each of the booths).
