Karnataka Minister Says Students Who Chant 'Modi, Modi' Should be Slapped, BJP Files Complaint

The Bharatiya Janata Party has filed a complaint against Karnataka minister S Tangadagi for his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress leader sparked a row when he said that students who raise "Modi, Modi" slogans should be slapped.

"Two crore jobs PM Modi promised. Did he give it? They should be ashamed. Those youth supporters of his who chant 'Modi Modi', slap them," Mr Tangadagi said at an election rally in Koppal.

"They (BJP) are now coming with their election campaign. With what face are they seeking votes? If youths ask for employment, they (BJP) ask them to sell pakoda. They must be ashamed. If any students or youths still say 'Modi, Modi', they should be slapped," he added.
