The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday asked the Election Commission to take action against Congress leader and former MP Vilas Muttemwar for allegedly using derogatory language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing a press conference, Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule condemned Muttemwar and said his party had written to Election Commission seeking action. Bawankule said it is against culture of Maharashtra politics to make derogatory remarks against a personality like Narendra Modi who is sitting on the post of Prime Minister of the country.
