The Congress Monday described as “uncivilised” Kerala chief minister V.S. Achutanandan’s calling Rahul Gandhi a “Amul baby”, and the party spokesman said such a comment by a person “about to become history” was an “insult” to India’s youth.
Speaking in Kolkata earlier, Union finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said: “I do not react to uncivilised comments. That is my position. But it speaks of the individual taste of the person and culture.”
Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi told reporters in New Delhi: “People who are about to become history in a few days are insulting the youth of the nation through such comments.”
