Kharge’s ‘Modi Ka Baap Bhi Jayega’ remark sparks BJP backlash, Amit Shah hits back

The BJP has planned nationwide protests against Mallikarjun Kharge's Patna remarks with Amit Shah, Nitin Nabin and other leaders accusing Congress of crossing political limits.

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday launched a sharp attack on Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge over his controversial remark about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late father at an event in Patna. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president Nitin Nabin accused the Congress of lowering political standards while the party demanded an apology from Kharge.

The controversy erupted during an event marking the 139th birth anniversary of Bihar’s first Chief Minister, Shri Krishna Singh. While addressing the gathering, Kharge was interrupted by a man in the audience who reportedly said that Modi would not go anywhere.

Kharge responded, “Modi ka baap bhi jayega,” which translates to “Even Modi’s father will go”. He reportedly repeated the remark twice, triggering a commotion at the venue.

The man, identified as Santosh Kumar, was reportedly surrounded by people, beaten and later removed from the hall. However, Kumar subsequently claimed that he had said Modi would not leave unless there was a revolt and that his words had been misunderstood.

Reacting to the incident, Shah accused Kharge of crossing the limits of political decorum by referring to the Prime Minister’s late father.

In a post on X, Shah alleged that the Congress had repeatedly used abusive language against Modi and his family. He cited previous remarks about Modi’s mother, references to him as a ‘merchant of death’ and the use of ‘chaiwala’ to mock his background.

“Under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, the Congress party keeps crossing the limits of indecency every day,” Shah said.
