The remarks have sparked accusations from Congress leaders about the BJP's alleged anti-Dalit mindset, demanding an apology from Sarma.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, a leader in the Congress party, has condemned the language used by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, describing it as 'utterly shameful'.

She called upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi to clarify if he supports such 'insulting' language, which she claims discredits the dignity of many Indians.
