The political tension between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress escalated as Union minister Annpurna Devi criticized Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his 'terrorist' comment against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Devi labeled the remarks as indicative of the opposition's frustration and ideological 'bankruptcy.'

Further intensifying the clash of political giants, Devi posted on social media, condemning Kharge's choice of words for crossing the lines of political decorum. She stressed that using such language against a democratically elected leader exposes an anti-constitutional mindset and highlights underlying animosity towards the nation's leadership.

Amidst the brewing controversy, Kharge clarified at a press conference that his 'terrorist' remark referred to Modi's alleged 'terrorising' of political parties and misuse of power to suppress opposition, not a literal accusation. The political rift reflects deeper issues within India's dynamic democratic framework as elections approach.
