Kolkata, May 6 (UNI) Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his jibe against former PM Rajiv Gandhi at an election rally in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday.

Modi allegedly stated that “Your (Rahul) father (the late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi) was called ‘Mr Clean’ by his defenders, but his life ended as bhrashtachari number 1 (corrupt number 1).”

Reacting to it, Banerjee said, "Sorry for my delayed response on this. I was campaigning. The comments made by ‘Expiry PM’ ModiJi against former PM Rajiv GandhiJi are very unfortunate. RajivJi dedicated himself & laid down his life for the motherland. I condemn the language used & the audacity of such a statement."
