Indore, July 15: It is all out war of words between Digvijay Singh and Nitin Gadkari with the senior Congress leader responding today to the BJP President’s jibe by asking him whether he is the son of Maharana Pratap or Shivaji.
“Honourable Gadkari has questioned my paternity and he wanted to know whether I am a son of Shivaji or Aurangzeb? I am the son of Balbhadra Singh,” Singh told reporters at the Indore Press Club.
“However, I want to know from Gadkariji whether he is the son of Maharana Pratap or Shivaji. I am not taking the name of Aurangzeb,” the AICC general secretary said.
Taking a pointed dig at Singh, Gadkari referred to him as Mughal ruler Aurangzeb’s son for his visit to a Muslim-dominated area in Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh.
“A Congress General Secretary is celebrating festivals with families of terrorists in Azamgarh.
