Prime Minister Narendra Modi defended his visit to Chief Justice DY Chandrachud’s residence for Ganpati Puja, criticizing the Opposition for politicizing the event. Modi stated, "Those who divide India have a problem with it," emphasizing that Ganesh Utsav is a cultural celebration rather than a political act. He compared current criticisms to historical resistance to Ganesh Puja during British rule and accused the Congress of harboring animosity towards the festival. The visit, which included a video of Modi being welcomed by CJI Chandrachud, has sparked debate over judicial transparency. The BJP has stressed the cultural significance of the visit amidst opposition scrutiny.
