The political arena erupted Tuesday as BJP leaders fired back at Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s shocking ‘terrorist’ label for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Describing it as a product of electoral despair, the party accused Congress of stooping to new depths in its criticism.
Kapil Mishra, a prominent Delhi BJP figure, minced no words in an exclusive interview. He highlighted Congress’s past governance failures: ‘Under Congress, jihadi attacks were routine in major cities. They suspect patriots who fight terror networks.’ Mishra asserted that Kharge’s rhetoric signals the end of Congress’s credibility and agenda.
Turning to AAP, Mishra ridiculed Kejriwal’s courtroom antics over the excise policy scam. ‘He’s evading investigation knowing jail awaits. The High Court rejected his theatrics outright,’ he noted.
From Siliguri, Pradeep Bhandari alleged Rahul Gandhi orchestrated the barb. ‘By calling PM a terrorist, Congress slurs 140 crore Indians. They spare actual terror sponsors like Pakistan—pure urban Naxal policy from a deranged party,’ he charged.
National spokesperson RP Singh labeled it ‘reprehensible,’ tying it to Congress’s poll losses. Odisha’s BJP president Manmohan Samal condemned the ‘disgraceful’ words from a veteran politician, stressing the need for decorum in discourse.
Collectively, BJP frames this as an assault on Modi’s leadership and the people’s choice, amplifying calls for accountability. With campaigns intensifying, such exchanges risk polarizing voters further, as BJP rallies around its strongman image against opposition barbs.
