Narendra Modi insulted entire womankind by insulting widows: Former CM Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Former CM Siddaramaiah said in a tweet that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has insulted the entire womankind by insulting widows.
The Prime Minister, who recently spoke in an election rally in Rajasthan, said, "Congress has misused the widow pension scam. The scam took place under the previous Congress regimes and Congress leaders stole the public’s money. The "unborn girls" were listed as "widows" and "accepted pensions", such serious allegations he made.
The unborn girl became a widow and even started getting a pension. Who were these widows who took this money? Which Congress widow was this whose bank account received this money?”, Modi had asked. The Congress had questioned the Prime Minister’s statement, claiming that the Prime Minister had "insulted" senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi.
Siddaramaiah, who has now tweeted about this, said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi has insulted entire womankind by insulting widows. Modi, who has forgotten that his mother is a widow, has come to a dilemma. I pray that he should get out of such a mental illness," Siddaramaiah said.
