BJP stages protest at Congress chief's Delhi residence over Modi remarks

The protest was part of a nationwide BJP call following Kharge's statements during an event in Patna.

Delhi BJP workers gathered near Kharge's residence in the capital as part of a coordinated national campaign by the ruling party over remarks made by the Congress president. The BJP characterized Kharge's comments as insulting to Prime Minister Modi and called for a formal apology.
The Congress leader had made the controversial statements during an event in Bihar's Patna earlier this week. The opposition party has not yet responded to the BJP's demands, which are being pressed across multiple states.
The protest represents an escalation in political tensions between India's two major political formations. The BJP has mobilized party workers to demonstrate against what it views as disrespectful commentary directed at the Prime Minister.
This incident is part of an ongoing pattern of heated exchanges between the ruling coalition and opposition parties in the run-up to electoral contests and during parliamentary sessions. Both sides have frequently accused each other of making inflammatory statements in recent months.
