Trinamool MP Derek O'Brien alleges Prime Minister Narendra Modi has "blood on his hands" for undermining federalism during a fiery Rajya Sabha session. O'Brien criticizes Modi's lengthy Mann Ki Baat, accusing the government of turning Parliament into a dark chamber. Modi, advocating competitive cooperative federalism, faced backlash as O'Brien claimed he butchered federalism. In response, Modi attacked Congress, invoked Mamata Banerjee's seat prediction, and criticized Rahul Gandhi. He also highlighted Nehru's reservations against reservation. Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi called Modi a "fan of Nehru," prompting discussions on the PM's focus on historical figures rather than achievements.
