A BJP MLA Panna Lal Shakya recently slammed the Indian cricket team skipper and termed he's not a patriot for he married Anushka in Italy.

Addressing a programme on PM Narendra Modi's Skill India campaign in Guna, the Madhya Pradesh BJP MLA said that Kohli earned fame and money in India and chose to spend billions on his marriage outside the country.

"Virat earned money in India... But he didn't find any place to marry in the country. Is Hindustan untouchable?..Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, Vikramaditya, Yudhishthir got married on this land. You all must have got married here. None of us goes to a foreign country to get married ... (Kohli) earned money here and spent billions there (Italy)... (he) doesn't have any respect for the country. This proves he is not a patriot," he said.
