Patna/IBNS: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Saturday referred to Amruta Fadnavis' 'father of new India' remark to take a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked what the "new father of new India has done for the nation?"


Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Dec 21, called PM Modi, the 'Father of the Nation' of 'New India'.

In a jibe at the remark, Kumar said, "They had nothing to do with the fight for Independence. RSS didn't contribute to the fight for Independence...we read about the remark 'New father of the nation'...what has the 'new father' of 'new India' done for the nation?"

"India has two fathers of the nation. One belonged to the India of yore and the other is for a new India. I believe that Mahatma Gandhi is the 'Father of the Nation' of India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the 'Father of the Nation' of new India," Amruta Fadnavis had said.

Retorting to the remark, Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole said that Mahatma Gandhi cannot be compared with anyone and took a jibe at the BJP's "new India."

"Father of the nation can't be compared with anyone. Their (BJP) 'new India' is only about making a few friends super-rich while the rest of the population remains downtrodden and hungry. We don't need this 'new India," Patole said.

"If they want to make Modi ji 'Father of the Nation' of new India just for few rich businessmen then let them make. I congratulate them for the same," Patole said.
