BJP Urges Action Against Congress President for Alleged Inflammatory Remarks

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has approached the Election Commission (EC) to demand action against Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. The BJP accuses Kharge of making inflammatory and communal statements during election rallies, allegedly in violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).

According to the BJP's complaint, Kharge's remarks were made while addressing predominantly Muslim voters in Assam and allegedly included a comparison of the BJP and RSS to 'poisonous snakes'. The party argues that such comments incite violence and could lead to community tensions.

The BJP has called for an FIR against Kharge, a public apology, and restrictions on his ability to speak publicly during the election period. The complaint also highlights Kharge's alleged derogatory comments about the people of Gujarat. The ruling party asserts these statements misuse religious sentiments for electoral gain.
