Home Minister of Rajasthan, Gulab Chand Kataria, got himself into trouble by referring to former PM, Manmohan Singh as ‘sa**’ during a BJP workers’ meeting in Churu, Rajasthan, only to apologise for the “error” later.

Kataria used the foul word for Narendra Modi’s predecessor during the speech, but unfortunately for him the whole speech was caught on camera, putting the minister in a tight spot.

<i>Desh ka pradhan mantri pehle Manmohan Singh jab America utarta tha, toh sa** ko receive karne kay liye aira-gera nathu khaira mantri ja karke airport se lekar ata tha. Lekin ab Hindustan ka pradhan mantri jab jata hai, toh Obama swayam uth karke jata hai uski agwani karne ke liye. </i> (When prime minister Manmohan Singh used to go to America, the sa** was received by low-level ministers at the airport. But now, when India’s prime minister goes, President Obama himself comes to receive him.)

Kataria, who was later contacted by The Indian Express, downplayed the whole incident, and apologised for the mistake.

It was wrong. The word just came out while I was in the flow (of the speech). I certainly regret it. Even in Vidhan Sabha, if you ask the Opposition, I sometimes make such errors, but I do realise it.&nbsp;
