Congress demanded the legislator’s expulsion over his remarks. “Facing a complete rout in the assembly elections, the BJP leadership is frustrated to the core and is hurling muck at Congress. They have lost all sense of propriety, political balance,” AICC general secretary in charge of Karnataka, Randeep Singh Surjewala, said.
Congress general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal tweeted that abusing Congress had become a constant feature of every election. On Sonia, he said the former party chief had led her life with dignityand grace. AICC general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh said BJP had “resorted to namecalling in desperation and despair”. He urged the PM to expel Yatnal from the party, besides apologising to Sonia.
