BJP threatens to block Madhya Pradesh leg of ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ over Cong leader’s alleged ‘anti-Brahmin’ remark
A Madhya Pradesh Congress leader’s alleged objectionable remarks about the Brahmin community have triggered a controversy with the BJP threatening to prevent Rahul Gandhi’s ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ from entering the state if the leader is not expelled from the party.
However, Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee media cell chairman KK Mishra, to whom the objectionable remarks have been attributed, claimed his comments have been “twisted” by the ruling party as they are rattled by the huge response Gandhi’s mass contact drive was getting across the country.
