Cong leader sparks row by raking up PM Modi's "burn me alive"

Former Karnataka Minister T B Jayachandra Friday sparked a row by raking up Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement during demonetisation that he would not get bogged down even if he was burnt alive for the decision, drawing the BJP's ire.

The Bharatiya Janata Party dubbed the Congress leader's remark "outrageous and despicable."
What is shocking is that such a despicable statement has come from Jayachandra, who had functioned as the law and parliamentary affairs minister of our state."
