Kanhaiya says Modi neglecting his mother

- BY KARUNA MADAN Correspond­ent

Taking a at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) leader Kanhaiya Kumar has called him an “incompeten­t” son who failed to take care of his 98-year-old mother.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been saying that people make disrespect­ful remarks against his mother. I am not saying anything about his mother, I am calling him ‘nalayak’ [incompeten­t],” Kumar said during a public event on late Sunday evening.

Kumar referred to Modi’s statement that Congress party was behind the attacks against his mother and other family members.

“The PM has failed to take care of his mother who is now 98 years old. It is tragic he can’t be a good son,” Kumar added at the event attended by Patidar community leader Hardik Patel and Gujarat legislator Jignesh Mewani.

The student leader also called Modi a “good actor”.

“Only an incompeten­t son can make his old mother stand in a bank queue during demonetisa­tion. Modi would have received the best actor award had he been in Bollywood,” Kumar commented. jibe
