In a veiled attack on Congress, Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday said that the primary opposition party of our country has become "charitrahin" (characterless).
He was responding to the alleged use of derogatory language aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late mother during Rahul Gandhi's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar. When asked for his reaction, Scindia, without directly naming the Congress, said the party had become "characterless."
"Be it politics or personal life, a level of decency should be observed. People have shown them (Congress) what happens to the person or the organisation when all limits are violated," he added.
He went on to say that while India is referred to as "Bharat Mata," the use of offensive words against a mother is highly reprehensible.
Scindia added that while India is progressing towards becoming a "Vishwaguru" under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, some forces within the country are seeking to erase the country’s existence. He said that India has always overcome such forces throughout its history and will continue to shine in the future.
Earlier in the day, Scindia addressed BJP workers at the Indore office. He also spoke about the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. Referring to Modi's recent visit to China, he said the Prime Minister has introduced India's strength, capability, and self-reliance to the entire world.
Scindia also noted that India's economic growth rate reached 7.80 per cent in the April-June quarter, stating, "We have become the fourth largest economic power in the world, leaving behind Japan, and by the year 2027, we will become the third largest economic power in the world, leaving behind Germany as well."
