Mallikarjun Kharge Controversy: A political controversy has erupted over Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s remarks at an event in Patna.
The programme marked the 139th birth anniversary of Bihar’s first Chief Minister, Shri Krishna Singh.
Kharge addressed the gathering at Bapu Sabhagar.
During his speech, he launched a sharp attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and the Election Commission.
The controversy began when a person in the audience shouted, “Modi will not go.”
Kharge responded angrily, saying, “Even Modi’s father will go.”
His remark quickly triggered a political confrontation.
BJP leaders criticised his choice of words and accused Congress of abandoning political decorum.
BJP Leaders Condemn Kharge’s Remarks
The BJP strongly objected to Kharge’s statement.
Party leaders described his language as inappropriate and contrary to political and family values.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticised the remark.
BJP president Nitin Nabin also accused Congress of crossing the boundaries of political propriety.
BJP leaders, including Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, joined the criticism.
The party also announced protests across the country over the controversy.
The dispute has intensified tensions between the BJP and Congress.
Both parties continue to exchange accusations over political conduct and public statements.
Written Complaint Filed in Patna
The controversy has also reached the police.
A written complaint against Kharge was filed at Patna’s Kotwali police station.
The complaint adds a legal dimension to the political dispute.
However, a complaint does not itself establish wrongdoing or indicate that authorities have found an offence.
Congress Workers Protest at the Venue
The event also witnessed discontent among Congress workers.
Some demonstrators outside the venue demanded the removal of Bihar Congress president Rajesh Ram and state in-charge Krishna Allavaru.
Their protest highlighted internal differences within the state Congress unit.
The demands added another layer to an already contentious political event.
