The BJP accused Congress of politicizing the funeral of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who passed away on December 26. BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya said, "Congress was present for media attention but absent in according dignity to him." He refuted Congress’s claims of mismanagement, stating the funeral adhered to protocol with full military honors. Congress alleged inadequate seating for Singh's family, disrupted procession due to Amit Shah's motorcade, and lack of proper media coverage. Malviya countered these, blaming logistical constraints and security measures, and urged Congress to "stop exploiting his death for political gain."
