BJP minister hurls abusive lingo during Delhi campaign

New Delhi, Dec 2 (IBNS): A minister in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet embarrassed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by using offensive language during a campaigning in Delhi, media reports said.

Union minister of state for food processing, Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti on Monday said: “You have to decide. Do you want a government of Ramzaadon (followers of Ram) or (those who are illegitimate)?”

Jyoti also criticized Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son-in-law Robert Vadra’s controversial land deals.

“The son of an ordinary family, who sold utensils, Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law, how did this man become a millionaire? They robbed the poor,” he said.

Jyoti debuted in the general elections held in May this year and won from Uttar Pradesh. She is one of the six BJP MPs in-charge the party’s campaign for the Delhi polls scheduled early next year, sources said.

When reporters asked her about her abusive remarks, the minister said: “What else do you call people who loot the nation...those who steal from the people and stash it in foreign banks? You tell me what we should call them.”
