“And now, Congress President Mallikarjun Khagde is demanding that convicted MP’s should not be disqualified,” he mentioned.
“Rather than growing a spine, he is misguiding Kharge to protest against his own stand, which he had taken in 2013. I have not seen a politician in this country so morally corrupt like Rahul Gandhi,” Sarma informed reporters on the sidelines of a programme right here.
Gandhi ought to inform individuals of the nation he stands for the trigger {that a} convicted MP/MLA needs to be disqualified instantly, the chief miniser mentioned.
