Karnataka Minister Priyank KhargeKhargeKharge responded sharply to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday after the latter cited a tragic incident from Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s childhood during a rally at Achalpur in Maharashtra.

Adityanath had referenced violence by the Hyderabad Nizam’s Razakars, alleging they “burned your (Mallikarjun Kharge's) village” and inflicted brutal acts on his family.

"The Hyderabad Nizam's Razakars burnt your (Mallikarjun Kharge) village, brutally killed Hindus, and burnt your respected mother, sister, your family members. Present this truth before the country that whenever they are divided, they will be divided in the same brutal manner," said Adityanath.
