Even in flood-affected areas, they want VVIP protocol?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">He went on to allege that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge \u201cinsults&#8221; farmers, adding that Anwar had also \u201cinsulted&#8221; relief work by sitting on the shoulders of locals while \u201ctouring&#8221; flood-hit regions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">In the later part of the post, the BJP leader also took a potshot at Congress and AAP, saying, \u201cCongress MP in VVIP mode.
