BJP rebukes Congress leader Kharge’s 'baap' comment, says Modi will stay in power

Congress leader Rahul Kharge sparked controversy on social media by referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as 'baap', a term that quickly drew criticism from rival parties. The comment was made during a televised interview on Tuesday, prompting a flurry of reactions across the political spectrum.
The Bharatiya Janata Party responded the following day, issuing a statement that read, 'Sorry anti-Indian forces, but Modi won’t go.' The party’s national spokesperson emphasized that the Prime Minister’s leadership remains unwavering despite attempts to undermine him.
Political analysts noted that the exchange reflects the heightened rhetoric as India approaches the next general election, with both sides seeking to mobilise their bases. The BJP’s rebuttal aims to portray the criticism as unpatriotic, while the Congress seeks to question the Prime Minister’s policies.
No further official remarks were made by either side after the statements, and the issue appears to have settled into the broader campaign narrative.
