'India won't forgive...': on PM Modi name comment by Congress leader, Assam CM's warning

Pawan Khera had referred to PM Modi as Narendra Gautamdas Modi but later corrected himself.

A fresh war of words has broken out between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party over Congress leader Pawan Khera's remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's name.

While addressing a press conference on 17 February 2023, Khera sought a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the allegations against Gautam Adani and his conglomerate. Khera said that "if former Prime Ministers PV Narasimha Rao and Atal Bihari Vajpayee could set up JPCs, then what is the problem of Narendra Gautamdas... sorry Narendra Damodardas Modi".

In response, Assam Chief Minister on 20 February 2023 said that the "pathetic remarks" about PM Modi's father had the "blessings of the top levels of Congress, which is full of entitlement and disdain against a person of humble origins being PM".

Khera had clarified that he "genuinely got confused" about the Prime Minister's name.
