October 14, 2019 12:39

Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday took a dig at Sonia Gandhi's return as the interim president of the Congress party.

Addressing an election rally, Khattar said, "After losing the Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi resigned as the Congress president and started saying that the party should get new president from outside Gandhi family,"

"We thought this was good to move away from nepotism (parivarvad)... But they spent three months moving around the country in search of a new party president. After three months who became the president? Sonia Gandhi. khoda pahad nikli chuiya, woh bhi mari hui. This is their condition," added Khattar.

The Congress has demanded an apology from Khattar.

"The comment made by the BJP's Chief Minister is not only cheap and objectionable, it also shows the anti-women character of the BJP. We condemn Chief Minister ML Khattar's remark and demand an immediate apology from him," the Congress tweeted in Hindi.
