BJP’s Khushbu Sundar’s 2018 “Modi” Tweet Now Sparks Row

New Delhi: Amid Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification over his “Modi remark”, BJP leader Khushbu Sundar’s 2018 tweet has sparked a row.

Member of the Congress at that time, Sundar had said the meaning of Modi should be changed to corruption. “Modi is everywhere, but what’s this? Modi surname is linked with corruption,” she had tweeted.

“Yahan #Modi wahan #Modi jahan dekho #Modi..lekin yeh kya?? Har #Modi ke aage #bhrashtachaar surname laga hua hai..toh baat ko no samjho..#Modi mutlab #bhrashtachaar..let’s change the meaning of #Modi to corruption..suits better..#Nirav #Lalit #Namo = corruption..,” she posted in Hindi.

Meanwhile, Khushbu Sundar is in hot water and she told news agency PTI, “Congress party raking up an old tweet of mine shows how desperate they are.”

“I am not ashamed of the ‘Modi’ tweet posted when I was in the Congress party. I was only following the leader and speaking the language of the party then,” she added.

Reportedly, Sundar, who is also an actor and National Commission for Women (NCW) member, joined the BJP in 2020 after quitting Congress.
