Congress veteran and former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde’s daughter Praniti has sparked a new controversy by referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as ‘dengue mosquito’. The Solapur MLA from Maharashtra also urged people to oust Bharatiya Janata Party and PM Modi in the upcoming elections.

Praniti had said, “There is a new dengue mosquito in the country whose name is Modi baba that is causing everyone to fall ill.” Adding on, she urged the people not to vote for BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
