Madhya Pradesh: Senior BJP leader Uma Bharti wrote a letter to Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh, saying that she will improve her language and also urged him to do so. Digvijaya had also sought an apology from her over her comments.
This comes after a video of Uma Bharati went viral in which she said that the government officials are there to ‘pick up leaders’ slippers’. Digvijaya Singh to this comment tweeted his condemn by saying that Uma, as my younger sister, you have been warning me to speak less. But the abusive words you have used against the bureaucrats are highly objectionable.
Uma Bharati writing him back in a letter said that she is deeply hurt and she will improve her language and so should Digvijaya, “”I am deeply hurt by my own words. I used to tell you (Digvijaya Singh) repeatedly that you don’t use moderate language… I will improve my language from now on, if you can do the same, then do it.”
She also quoted a ‘chaupai’ (verse) from the epic ‘Ramayana’ in her letter to the Congress leader.
After a video containing Uma Bharti’s critical comments against bureaucracy surfaced on social media, the former Union Minister had on Monday expressed regret over her intemperate language used during an interaction with a delegation of representatives from other backward classes (OBCs) at her home in Bhopal.
After having visited Chantaman Ganesh temple in Sehore city on Friday, she told journalists that Singh is not an enemy, but he has no control over his tongue.
He has lost election to Pragya Singh by a huge margin, but he has yet to learn how to shut his mouth, she said. It is because of his language that both Hindus and Muslims dislike him, she added.
Uma Bharti further said that she would again advise Singh, like a sister, to control his tongue which is his real enemy.
