BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya here on Friday backed his old political rival and now partyman, Jyotiraditya Scindia, saying he is not “gaddar” (traitor) but “khuddar” (upright).
Vijayvargiya a politician known for his stinging remarks also talked about political sanctity over degradation of language in politics.
Slamming Kamal Nath and Digvijay Singh, the BJP Indore leader said the 15-months Congress government was a government of betrayal and corruption.
“The two leaders often call Jyotiraditya Scindia Gaddar but in reality, the two leaders (Nath-Singh) are gaddars, Scindia is khuddar,” said the BJP general secretary.
"I don’t reply to lunatics, kids and elderly people," Vijayvargiya said when asked about derogatory comments passed by local Congress leader Sajjan Singh Verma on him.
To add, Verma, an old detractor of Vijayvargiya had recently made objectionable comments on BJP leader’s physical appearance among other things in a poll meeting in Sanver, an assembly constituency in Indore.
Vijayvargiya continued saying he was first elected in MP Assembly when political heavyweights like Arjun Singh, Shyama Charan Shukl, Rajendra Shukl, Sunderlal Patwa and others were around. “Even these leaders levelled allegations against each other but always used to keep dignity of language in mind.”
