Mumbai: Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole  said that Mahatma Gandhi cannot be compared with anyone and took a jibe at the BJPโ€™s โ€œnew India.โ€

โ€œFather of the nation canโ€™t be compared with anyone. Their (BJP) โ€˜new Indiaโ€™ is only about making a few friends super-rich while the rest of the population remains downtrodden and hungry. We donโ€™t need this โ€˜new India,โ€ Patole said. โ€œIf they want to make Modi ji โ€˜Father of the Nationโ€™ of new India just for few rich businessmen then let them make. I congratulate them for the same,โ€ Patole said.

The Maharashtra Congress chiefโ€™s remarks came after Amruta Fadnavis, the wife of the stateโ€™s deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday termed prime minister Narendra Modi as โ€œthe father of new Indiaโ€ after she was asked about a 2019 tweet in which she called him โ€˜the father of our country.โ€
โ€œWe have two โ€˜rashtra pitaโ€™. Narendra Modi is the father of New India and Mahatma Gandhi is the father of the nation of earlier times,โ€ Amruta said during a programme in Nagpur where she was invited as the chief guest.
Senior Congress leader Pramod Tiwari also hit out at the remarks made by the wife of the stateโ€™s deputy chief minister.

โ€œThere can be two fathers in BJP but not in the country. Thereโ€™ll be only one Father of Nationโ€ฆโ€ Tiwari said.
Mentioning that Amruta Fadnavis was the wife of five times Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, he said, โ€œAmrita spoke what was present in the heart of the BJP. BJP and its organization are worshipers of Godse.โ€

He alleged that the BJP and its organizations were filled with hatred for Gandhi and Congress.

โ€œThis is not just an insult to Gandhi but to the entire nation. This theory was that of the BJP and not the nation,โ€ he told ANI.
