On Monday, Shiv Sena Shinde MLA Sanjay Gaikwad publicly announced a bounty of Rs 11 lakh to those who will cut Rahul Gandhi’s throat, causing anger among the Congress members for the series of hate-filled threatening remarks from the BJP leaders.

The statements triggered widespread fury against the BJP leaders, and many Congress leaders condemned the remarks, pointing out the seriousness. The party chief Mallikarjun Kharge wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to disciple his party leaders.

The Congress has today filed a complaint against four NDA leaders, including Sanjay Gaikwad, Tarvinder Singh Marwah, and Union Minister of State Ravneet Singh Bittu, for his Rahul Gandhi ‘number one terrorist’ remark.
