"They should talk on national and international issues. Why do they have to use words like 'Shehzada', talk about some one's property or keep talking about madam (Sonia Gandhi)," he told reporters here.
Shinde was reacting to Modi's repeated reference of Rahul as "Shehzada", properties allegedly acquired by Vadra and Congress president Sonia Gandhi's alleged influence on the UPA government.
Congress had already objected to the repeated use of word "Shehzada" by Modi. Priyanka Gandhi also said her husband Robert Vadra was being targeted for political reasons and asserted that her resolve to fight back will increase the more the opponents attack.
"Such statements are not good for democracy," Shinde said.
