A video clip of AAP Gujarat chief Gopal Italia abusing Prime Minister Modi has gone viral.
In this video, Gopal Italia said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a ‘neech’ person.
I can’t confirm but I want to ask you, is there any former Prime Minister of the country who has done so many gimmicks while going to cast vote? This ‘neech’ type of person is doing road shows here.
And he is showing how I am making this country C. You better understand the meaning of C. He talks about digital India and rushes to Gujarat from Delhi to cast vote. This is how he is making country C. So, this ‘neech’ type of person is giving a message to the country about how he is making this country C.”
The date of the video is not confirmed, but it is apparently from 2019 during the run-up to the general elections.
BJP leader Amit Malaviya shared the clip on Twitter wherein Italia can be heard referring PM Modi as ‘Neech’ (lowly). “Gopal Italia, Kejriwal’s right hand man and AAP Gujarat’s President, stoops to Kejriwal’s level, calls Prime Minister Modi “neech”, Malaviya wrote.
“Using such profanities and abusing Gujarat’s pride and son of the soil is an insult to every Gujarati, who has voted for him and the BJP for 27 years”, he added to the caption.
Following this, social media erupted into protests as most of the netizens strongly condemn such comments against the prime minister of the country. One netizen commented, “Now AAP Gujarat President is calling PM @narendramodi-Neech! What kind of language is this?”
Another netizen said, “Biggest self-goal by AAP in upcoming elections in Gujarat. They have already accepted their defeat hence now all these to cut into Congress votes especially Muslim votes.”
“They have stooped very low that they are openly abusing BJP party and their leaders, ministers as well shamelessly,” another tweeted.
This is not the first time that the Prime Minister has to face such abusive language. In 2017, Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar also called PM Modi as ‘neech.’
