BJP Mobilizes Nationwide Rallies Over Congress Leader’s Comment on Modi’s Father
The BJP announced a series of protests across India in response to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s remark about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s father, with senior leaders Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh expected to join the marches.
Following Mallikarjun Kharge’s reference to Narendra Modi’s father, the BJP launched a countrywide protest campaign under its “Save democracy, remove anarchy” slogan. Union ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh are slated to take part in the padayatras that will follow the INDIA bloc’s rally on November 1. The move is framed as a counter-offensive against the opposition ahead of the upcoming electoral contest.
Why it matters
