The now-deleted post which hit PM Modi and his government read, "Congress constructed faculties; however, Modi by no means went to check. Congress even arranged schemes for adults to study. Modi did not study there too. Individuals who selected to beg for a residing regardless of beggary being prohibited are immediately pushing residents to beggary. Nation is struggling due to "#angoothachhaap modi."
The BJP's Karnataka spokesperson, Malavika Avinash, said "solely the Congress might lean so low" and continued that the comment didn't even advantage a reply.
