We respect his age, anger and expertise and we hope he would rethink his phrases as there is no such thing as a place in politics for anger and private assaults. We hope he’ll now present maturity and rethink his phrases as he has been a warrior of the Congress and the celebration has made him the CM for 9 years and 9 months.”

Singh responded by saying: “Sure, there is not any house for anger in politics. However is there house for humiliation and insult in a grand outdated celebration just like the Congress celebration? If a senior celebration chief like me will be handled like this, I’m wondering what the employees should undergo.”
