Acharya Pramod Krishnam, expelled from Congress and now a BJP leader, has lashed out at the MK Stalin-led DMK party stating that for him it stands for “Dengue, Malaria, Kodh (Leprosy)”. His remarks came while appearing in Rajat Sharma’s iconic TV show 'Aap Ki Adalat'.
The Acharya hit out at DMK's deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin for comparing Sanatan Dharma with 'dengue, malaria'.
“For me, DMK stands for Dengue, Malaria, Kodh (Leprosy) and DMK is Rahul Gandhi's most favourite party.......There are people who described Lord Ram as a mythological figure and Emperor Babur as real,” he said while replying to questions from Rajat Sharma.
The BJP leader also slammed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his remark over ‘Sanatan’ during election campaign and said, “Kharge said at a public meeting that if Modi returned as Prime Minister, there will be Sanatan Raj. His son (Priyank Kharge) said, Sanatan is a 'dirty word'.”
Congress can never regain power unless Priyanka Gandhi gets control: Acharya Pramod Krishnam
Acharya Pramod Krishnam emphasised that if Rahul Gandhi is not the right leader to lead the party. He blamed Rahul Gandhi for the party's present state. He also heaped praises on Narendra Modi and said there is Prime Minister like him.
Acharya Pramod Krishnam said, "There are no chances for the Congress returning to power till 2047 if Rahul Gandhi continues to lead the party". He described Rahul's sister Priyanka Gandhi as 'the most popular leader of Congress' and added that 'the party can never regain power unless Priyanka gets control of the party'.
He said, "Yes, I said, had Rahul Gandhi not been born in the Nehru-Gandhi family, nobody would have given him the job of a 'chaprasi'(messenger)... It is challenging to tell the truth, but it is even more difficult to hear the truth, and it is furthermore difficult to accept the truth. If the Congress had accepted this truth, it would not have faced the troubles that it is facing today".
