"I'll Resign If...": Priyank Kharge Challenges BJP Over Vande Mataram Stanzas
Karnataka Home Minister and Congress leader Priyank Kharge has defended the state government's decision to limit Vande Mataram to two stanzas at official events, escalating the row over the BJP's demand that all stanzas of the national song be sung.
Kharge, while addressing a crowd, challenged BJP leaders BY Vijayendra and R Ashoka to sing all stanzas of Vande Mataram "without using a teleprompter or looking into a piece of paper".
"...If they do, I will resign," he said.
The Congress leader also targeted the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the row.
