Bengaluru: In yet another controversial statement, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Karnataka BJP state chief, Nalin Kateel, verbally attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
In the distasteful personal jibe at the former president of the grand old party, Kateel said that Gandhi cannot have children due to the Covid-19 vaccine. Kateel also claimed he was told that Rahul Gandhi is not getting married because of the same reason.
“Rahul Gandhi and Siddaramaiah asked people not to take Covid19 vaccines saying it would make them infertile, but they secretly took it themselves, MLC Manjunath told me Rahul Gandhi is not getting married because he cannot have children,” said Kateel.
A journalist with a prominent news organisation, Deepak Bopaanna, took to Twitter to share the video of Nalin Kateel where he was seen making controversial remarks.
