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).
