Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh tweeted: “Nehru will survive such pettiness. CM Karnataka desperate to save his job knows what he has done is an insult to his father SR Bommai and his father’s first political guru MN Roy, both great Nehru admirers, the latter being a friend as well. Pathetic this is.” The advertisement mentioned the name of all freedom fighters but for Nehru.
