Complaint filed against BJP MLA Suvendu Adhikari for obscene remarks against Rahul Gandhi

Bharatiya Janata Party's Bengal leader Suvendu Adhikari courted a controversy after he made obscene remarks against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

While speaking to reporters on Sunday, Adhikari used a derogatory term to imply that Gandhi was an idiot while expressing his thoughts about the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which is currently in West Bengal.

"Who is Rahul Gandhi? He says you should heat tea after putting coal on a stove. Coal on a stove? I have never heard anything like this," he was quoted as saying.

The remarks caused a furore in the state, with the Congress Bengal unit filing a police complaint against Adhikari on Monday.

TMC leader Kunal Ghosh also rebuked the BJP MLA for the usage of the offensive word. Sharing a video of the incident on social media X, Ghosh said that such "uncivilised and bad culture" must stop in politics and added that he strongly opposes the usage of such offensive words.

"Is this any language? What kind of language is Gaddar using to insult Rahul Gandhi," the TMC spokesperson posted.
