‘Pappu’ has become ‘Param Pujya’: Raj Thackeray

TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ As the Congress party has emerged victorious in Rajasthan, and is also poised to sweep Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh elections, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Raj Thackeray said that Congress president Rahul Gandhi who was referred to as ‘Pappu’ (colloquial Hindi word for dumb kid) by his opponents has now become’Param Pujya’ (most revered).

“Rahul Gandhi was alone in Gujarat, even in Karnataka and now too. Now Pappu has become Param Pujya. Will his leadership be accepted at the national level, you are seeing it,” he said. The MNS chief also took a swipe at the Bharatiya Janata Party which is inching towards its defeat in recently held state Assembly elections and said that the party was bound to be defeated because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah’s behaviour.

“It was bound to happen. .he way Amit Shah and Modiji behaved in the past four years. It is all clear to the people of India now… they failed in all fronts and they have nothing to show… so they are playing Ram Mandir card but people are smart enough,” he added.
