BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal criticized Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for his recent comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, labeling them as “insulting” and “unfortunate.” The verbal exchange between the two parties escalated following Kharge’s controversial statements during a press briefing. Khandelwal expressed disappointment in Kharge’s remarks, especially given Prime Minister Modi’s global popularity, suggesting that Kharge may need psychiatric help.
The dispute arose when Kharge referred to PM Modi as a “terrorist” during a press conference, sparking a backlash from BJP leaders. Kharge later clarified that his intention was to criticize the PM’s political tactics rather than label him as a terrorist. This incident led to a sharp rebuke from the BJP, accusing Congress of degrading political discourse and branding them as an “Urban Naxal Party,” heightening tensions between the two parties.
Amidst the ongoing elections in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, Khandelwal also commented on the voting process, urging residents to participate in the democratic process. He predicted a significant shift in power in both states, foreseeing a BJP government in West Bengal and emphasizing the importance of voter turnout. The electoral dynamics in these states are closely monitored as a crucial test for the major political players.
