"Will Bury Alive, those raising slogans against PM Modi”
BJP leader Raghuraj Singh courted a row, in Aligarh on Sunday, by saying people raising slogans against PM Narendra Modi and UP CM Yogi Adityanath "will be buried alive".
Singh made the remarks on Sunday while addressing a rally in Aligarh to create awareness about the Citizenship Amendment Act.
The minister said that people who raise slogans against Prime Minster Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath "would be buried alive".
The saffron party immediately distanced itself from controversial remarks of the leader. "Raghuraj Singh is neither a minister nor an MLA," said BJP official spokesman and leader Dr Chandramohan.
Labour Welfare Council chairman Sunil Bharala said Raghuraj Singh is an advisor in a unit of Labour Department.
