Neech Remark

Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar on Tuesday pushed aside a microphone, made fists and used an expletive at reporters who questioned him about his "neech" (vile) jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, targeted again by Congress's Mani Shankar Aiyar - this time by an article justifying his two-year-old "Neech" (vile) slur - retaliated through the day. From party chief Rahul Gandhi to senior leader Sam Pitroda and other opposition leaders (Mahamilavati people), he spared no one and said abuse from them w...

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi today denied the charge by RLSP president Upendra Kushwaha that he was called "neech" (lowly person) by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. "Nitish Kumar never used the word NEECH against any leader in his interaction with the media. I was present at the programme. Still some people are trying to become martyr...

An alarmed senior Congress leader and former lawmaker Hanumantha Rao has said he will write to party president Rahul Gandhi requesting him to expel Mani Shankar Aiyar, who was suspended by the party late last year after his "neech" slur against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

I squirm, of course, at the thought that I should have brought down the party that has given me so much. I particularly regret having dashed the cup from my friend's son's lips just as triumph was around the corner.

Gujarat assembly election 2017 saw a high-voltage campaign where Congress and the BJP got engaged in a bitter war of words. The BJP has not declared its chief ministerial candidate for Gujarat; however, the party ran an aggressive campaign with many senior leaders including BJP National President Amit Shah, Union Minister Arun Jaitley seeking vote...

Amid the acrimony-filled poll campaign in Gujarat, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi but promised he would not use even one "galat shabd" (wrong word) against him because he respects the post of the Prime Minister.

Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar should be expelled from the party for his "neech" remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Samajwadi Party patron Mulayam Singh Yadav said on Saturday.

Continuing his attack on the Congress over Mani Shankar Aiyar's "neech" remark against him, Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually read out a laundry list of abuses poured on him by other Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi and "her family members".

The challenge is to find a collective will to liberate politics from undesirable invective and to express differences without contempt.

Rahul Gandhi showed who's the boss and reacted decisively in what can be termed his first decision as nearly Congress President - the suspension of Mani Shankar Aiyar for his "neech" comment on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

With Gujarat voting tomorrow, the BJP has made it clear it will not allow the Congress to wriggle out of the spot that its senior leader Mani Shankar Aiyar landed his party in by calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "neech aadmi". Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the Congress' action against Mr Aiyar is a "strategic suspension" and has asked pe...

Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar was suspended from the primary membership of the party on Thursday for calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "neech aadmi", a remark that PM Modi said was aimed at his humble origins. Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi had responded to the volley of attacks from the BJP by pulling up Mr Aiyar during the ...

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday lashed out at Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyer for his "neech" remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the comment displays the mindset that "only one elite family" can rule this country.

Mani Shankar Aiyar's ability to score goals against his own team is unparalleled in Indian politics. So, perhaps, is his level of frustration at being sidelined in his party despite his fawning allegiance to the Nehru-Gandhi family. He has a remarkable capacity to offend people, get personal and abusive without provocation.
