Condemning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement on former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi that his life ended as 'Bhrastachari Number One,' Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy Sunday said the comment reflected his state of mind.
"PM @narendramodi's comments against former PM #RajivGandhi are not only despicable and highly condemnable, but also reflect the PM's state of mind. Fear and frustration have taken over his judgement. #ShameOnPMModi," Kumaraswamy tweeted.
Karnataka Congress president Dinesh Gundu Rao too flayed the prime minister's statement.
Rao tweeted, "PM Modi's comment, 'Your father's (Rajiv Gandhi) life ended as Bhrashtachari No 1' exposes his filthy mind.
Rajiv liberalised economy, ushered in IT revolution, reduced the voting age to 18 and introduced panchayat raj. Above all, he gave his life for India."
