In a recent rally held in Chitradurga, Karnataka, GS Manjunath, a local Congress leader, made derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He criticized the timing of the PM’s announcement regarding a reduction in LPG cylinder prices, prompting strong backlash from various quarters.
During his speech, Manjunath expressed discontent over the reduction in LPG cylinder prices by Rs 100, stating that if given the chance, he would physically assault the Prime Minister. His comments were met with condemnation from the BJP and other political factions, labeling them as disrespectful and inappropriate.
Prime Minister Modi, responding to the incident, denounced the Congress for allegedly undermining his efforts towards women’s empowerment. He emphasized the tangible benefits of his initiatives and condemned the Congress for politicizing important issues.
The incident occurred against the backdrop of heightened political tensions in Karnataka, with opposition parties questioning the government’s handling of critical matters such as drought and rising prices. PM Modi’s decision to reduce LPG cylinder prices, announced on International Women’s Day, elicited varied responses, with supporters praising the move and critics dismissing it as a mere electoral tactic.
The controversial remarks by the Karnataka Congress leader have ignited a debate on the importance of maintaining decorum and respect in political discourse, especially towards elected representatives.
