Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Murkho ke Sardar' remark against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said the prime minister has 'abused' the public.

"He has verbally abused the public, verbally abused our leader. PM Modi has become so arrogant that he doesn't consider anyone before him. Ye ahankar Ravan ka nahi raha toh Modi ka ye ahankar kahan tikega?" Baghel said as quoted by news agency ANI.

The development comes a day after PM Modi launched a scathing attack on Gandhi without taking his name and mocked the Wayanad MP calling him 'Murkhon KeSardar' after the latter's claim on the dominance of "Made in China" mobile phones in India.

While speaking at a rally in the Betul district of Madhya Pradesh, the prime minister made a jab at the Congress, claiming that its leaders suffer from a mental illness that prevents them from acknowledging the accomplishments of their own people.

"One wise leader of the Congress said yesterday that everyone in India has 'Made in China' mobile phones. Arre Murkhon ke Sardar, (the leader of stupid people) in which world do you live? The leaders of the Congress have this mental disease of not recognising the achievements of their own countrymen," the PM said.

PM Modi went on to say that he "wondered" what foreign lens the Congress leaders use because they have no idea what is going on in the nation. "The leaders of the Congress are flying so high that they can't see the poor on the ground and are also clueless about the ground realities," the prime minister said.

Hitting back at PM Modi, Baghel said "The Prime Minister's ego has increased so much that now he is abusing the public," he said.
