Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday condemned party leader Kailash Vijayvargiya's son Akash Vijayvargiya for attacking a government employee with a bat, saying "beta kisi ka bhi ho, aise logo ki party see nikal dena chahiye" (regardless of whose son he is, such people should be sacked from the party).

Modi said: "We do not want any leaders who spoil the party's image. Whosoever's son, such leaders should be removed from the party."

Modi was referring to Akash Vijayvargiya, a BJP MLA from Indore who attacked a municipal official during a demotion drive on June 26.

Modi also slammed party leaders for giving a rousing welcome to Akash Vijayvargiya after he was released from jail and said: "Those who welcomed him, such leaders should also be sacked from the party."

Akash Vijayvargiya was arrested and later granted bail.
