BJP leaders demand Mallikarjun Kharge’s arrest over ‘poisonous snake’ jibe at RSS

MANDYA: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders and workers staged a protest against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge over the latter’s “poisonous snake” jibe at Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in an election rally in Assam.

The protest was held outside the SP’s office in Mandya on Wednesday. The BJP workers demanded that Kharge be arrested for his remarks against their party and the RSS. Labelling Kharge’s remarks as “hate speech”, the BJP workers alleged that Congress has attempted to incite Muslims.

BJP leaders, including Manjunath, Prasanna, Hosahalli Shivu, Shivakumar Aaradhya, Nithyananda, Madaraja Arasu, Mahantappa, and others, participated in the protest and filed a formal complaint with the Mandya SP. (ANI)
