NEW DELHI: Seizing on Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's "neech" jibe, BJP chief Amit Shah on Thursday listed several "indecent" remarks by members of the main opposition party targeting PM Narendra Modi.Shah said he was not surprised by Aiyar's derogatory comment against Modi as it reflected "Congress's culture". "Yamraj, Maut ka Saudagar, Ravan, Gandi Nali ka Keeda, Monkey, Rabies Victim, Virus, Bhasmasur, Gangu Teli, Goon. Nobody knows how many times Congress leaders have used this sort of language against Modi in the past. Years have passed, but there has been no change in its culture," Shah said in a statement.Congress's mindset against a poor man's son, a reference to Modi, reflected its ideological bankruptcy and "Mughlai mentality", the BJP chief said. "The strength of India's democracy will be displayed when a person of humble background politically defeats the dynasty and its representatives," he added.Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad claimed Aiyar had Rahul Gandhi's "approval" to use such derogatory language.
