BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's swipe at Mahatma Gandhi has irked the top-party-leadership and he may be forced to apologise, party sources said. A senior BJP-leader said the Karnataka leader's comments were "condemnable" and the party leadership is upset with him. "The party has conveyed its displeasure to him and asked him to take remedial measure. Any insult to Mahatma Gandhi is unacceptable," he said.
