Ahmedabad: President of Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Gujarat unit, Gopal Italia, came under fire on Sunday after the BJP slammed him for allegedly calling the Prime Minister “neech aadmi” and for his remarks where he purportedly used profanities.
In this video, Gopal Italia said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a ‘neech’ person. I can’t confirm but I want to ask you, is there any former Prime Minister of the country who has done so many gimmicks while going to cast vote? This ‘neech’ type of person is doing road shows here. And he is showing how I am making this country C. You better understand the meaning of C. He talks about digital India and rushes to Gujarat from Delhi to cast vote. This is how he is making country C. So, this ‘neech’ type of person is giving a message to the country about how he is making this country C.”
Gopal Italia, Kejriwal’s right hand man and AAP Gujarat’s President, stoops to Kejriwal’s level, calls Prime Minister Modi “नीच”।
Using such profanities and abusing Gujarat’s pride and son of the soil is an insult to every Gujarati, who has voted for him and the BJP for 27 years. pic.twitter.com/5J2k8Ibmwv— Amit Malviya (@amitmalviya) October 9, 2022
However, BJP’s IT cell in-charge Amit Malviya Sunday shared a video on Twitter where Italia can be heard calling PM Modi “neech aadmi”. Malvliya said using such profanities and abusing Gujarat’s pride and son of the soil is an insult to every Gujarati, who has voted for him and the BJP for 27 years.
Notably, it is not the first time that an opposition leader has used ‘Neech’ for PM Narendra Modi. Back in 2017, veteran Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar had called PM Modi a neech aadmi, a comment he repeated ahead of the 2019 elections. At that time, the people of India gave a resounding reply to Aiyar by giving a historic verdict for PM Modi. It remains to be seen how the people of Gujarat react to this ‘neech’ comment by Gopal Italia against Narendra Modi.
