| Congress condemns Janardan Dwivedi's remarks calling PM's 2014 poll win victory of Indianness |
![]() Congress has condemned the remarks of Party General Secretary Janardan Dwivedi saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi's victory in 2014 Elections as a win of Indianness. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi today party spokesperson Ajay Maken said Congress' view about Indianness is completely opposite to what Mr. Dwivedi has said. Replying to a query about disciplinary action against Dwivedi, he said party leadership will take a decision on it. He said what Mr. Dwivedi has said is not the view point of Congress. Mr. Maken said Mr. Modi is in no way representative of Indianness. Mr. Dwivedi had said yesterday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP's victory in 2014 Lok Sabha elections was a victory of Indianness. He had also said that Mr. Modi's ascension to power marked the beginning of a new period. Meanwhile, Mr. Dwivedi has said that he never compared Indianness with Mr. Modi. He said he has been misquoted. He said people like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Rammanohar Lohia are examples of Indianness and not Narendra Modi. |
