Days After Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s controversial ‘poisonous snake’ remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which he promptly retracted, his son Priyank Kharge landed in a soup by calling PM a ‘nalayak beta’ (useless son).
Addressing a gathering in poll-bound Karnataka, Priyank, while referring to PM Modi’s recent visit to Kalaburgi said, “Recently you told the Banjara community that don’t worry, a son of Banjara is sitting in Delhi. What to do with such a nalayak beta? How do we run the household with such a nalayak beta.”

BJP has taken a strong objection to the comment and said that by calling PM Modi a ‘useless son’, Priyank Kharge is ‘outdoing his father’.
“By calling PM Modi ‘a useless son’ Priyank Khage is outdoing the comment made by his father Mallikarjun Kharge,” said Prakash S, Joint spokesperson of Karnataka BJP.
BJP leader Chalavadi Narayanaswamy also raised objection to the comment and said, “They have a bad mouth. Is it necessary for elections? I have high regard for Kharge ji because I have worked with him. He was not like this in Bengaluru, but I don’t know what happened in Delhi. Now his son has started the same thing. He called our PM some bad filthy words. This will certainly impact elections. We are in the people’s court they will think and decide.”
