Mallikarjun Kharge Slams BJP

In a no-holds-barred attack on the ruling party, Mallikarjun Kharge said, “Progressive people are being called urban naxals…this is his habit. His party itself is a terrorist party.

The BJP earlier accused the grand old party of looting the poor. Launching projects at a rally, PM Modi said, “They (Congress) think if we all unite, then their agenda to divide the country will fail.”

He went to the extent of saying, “All those who are against India’s emergence as a powerful country are close to the Congress.”

BJP: Insult To Crores Of Voters

Taking on the Congress president, BJP’s national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla called it an insult to the crores of the people who have voted for the party. He said, “Crores of people have voted for BJP in 2014, 2019, and now in 2024. This is an insult to the people’s wisdom but Congress has made it a habit. They put Parivar Tantra about everything else. They have doubted the results of the EVM in Haryana.”
