It is easy to lose count of Congress politicians who have used foul language, abusive language, making derogatory and casteist and classist remarks against their opponents, as there seems to be one such incident every single day.

On Tuesday, Congress politician Salman Nizami used crude language to make a point about AIMIM chief Asaduddn Owaisi fielding candidates against his party in Muslim dominated areas.

Owaisi had right from the beginning rejected alliance offers from the BJP and Congress. He has been and continues t attack the Congress on several issues.

Saying that Indian Muslims know the colour of 'Owaisi's Chaddi' and that it is 'saffron inside', Nizami on Tuesday attacked him saying his party's fielding of candidates will enable the division of Muslim votes in the Muslim dominated seats and would thereby aide BJP's win.

Earlier on Tuesday, Republic TV reported that Congress' candidate from Kaiserganj, Uttar Pradesh, Vinay Kumar Pandey in a derogatory personal remark called the BJP leader an illegitimate son of an illegitimate person. 

He was responding to Salman Khurshid's comment where he stated that he was like Adityanath's father and Yogi had turned out to be a useless son.

"In monastic tradition who is the father of Yogi Adityanath?...

"If he is the son of Awedhnath (illegitimate person) and is getting legitimacy by a Supreme Court advocate (Salman Khurshid), a legal law specialist whose mettle is believed by whole world and not only India, if he is giving legitimacy then what is the problem in that. From an Awedh (illegimate) father, he is getting a Wedh (legitimate) father by someone who has served the country, and you are the one who are looting," he said.
