Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Monday demanded an apology from Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his "why all thieves have Modi in their name" remark.
Mr Gandhi has filed an affidavit in response to a recent Supreme Court order, saying he had made the statement in the heat of political campaigning, which has been misused by his opponents.
