To this, Ramesh said it would be authenticated. The Chairman advised Ramesh not to interrupt when any member speaks in the House. Annoyed by Ramesh’s disregard for the chair’s suggestion, Dhankhar said, “The senior leadership (Kharge) is here. I think you (Ramesh) should replace (Kharge)… You are so intelligent, so gifted, you should immediately come and take the seat.”Kharge retorted by saying “do not bring in the Varna system…that is why you are calling Ramesh very intelligent … and I am dull.” He defended his position by attributing his political stature to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and the electorate, emphasising his achievements in public service. “The people who have elevated me to this position are sitting here,” Kharge said, glancing towards Sonia Gandhi.
