Hours after Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni called farmer leader Rakesh Tikait a "do kaudi ka aadmi" (worthless person), Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday, August 23, questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's inaction.
“For how long will the Prime Minister continue to save tainted ministers? For how long will you continue to encourage this language of abuse?” she said in a tweet in Hindi.
In a veiled reference to protesting farmers, Teni, whose son Ashish is in prison for allegedly running over farmers in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri, also spoke about "dogs barking and chasing his car."
