Varanasi | Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam on Tuesday called him as the modern incarnation of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.
Addressing a rally for Congress candidate Ajay Rai in Varanasi, Nirupam said, “Hundreds of Temples are been destroyed in Banaras in the name of the corridor, fees of rupees 550 has been imposed in the name of Darshan in Vishwanath temple. It is proof that Aurangzeb was not able to do any work which was being done by Narendra Modi.”
When asked about the ‘Duryodhan’ jibe used by Priyanka Gandhi for PM Modi, Nirupam justified the remark saying Priyanka Gandhi tried to tell through the poems of Ramdhari Singh Dinkar that when the ego of Duryodhana and Ravana broke, even PM Modi’s ego won’t survive.
Responding to the PM Modi’s statement against former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, Nirupam said, “The day when PM called Rajiv Gandhi ‘ Corrupt No. 1’, it is been assured that Smriti Irani would be defeated by more than 2.5 lakh votes.”
