Objecting to 'Naidu Theory' makes you anti-national: Kharge

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday criticized Information and Broadcasting Minister M Venkaiah Naidu for espousing the ideologies of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh party (RSS) on every subject under the sun.

"Venkaiah Naidu has always spoken on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh party (RSS) ideologies, and if anyone has commented on him or his theory, then they all become anti-national and corrupt for the country," said Kharge.

Kharge also claimed that Naidu does not practice what he preaches.

He said, "Those who speak on secularism or freedom of speech like how Venkaiah Naidu does, but for him to practice it, is very difficult. So, if anyone corrects him, then they are labellled anti-social. Is that not wrong? (ANI)

Earlier in the week, Kharge also commented on the reaction to what Prime Minister Modi has been saying at election rallies.

"The reaction would be similar to the action. Election rallies are different, but there is a dignity of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha that should be maintained. PM Modi goes to every state and fights with the state leaders. No other Prime Minister in the history of the country. You should tell what schemes you have initiated and implemented in the nation, not comment on others," Kharge told ANI.
