Congress MP Rahul Gandhi issued a clarification following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's criticism over his 'Shakti' remark, stirring controversy ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Gandhi defended his statement, stating it aimed at challenging the might of the state, not individuals. Responding to Modi's counter, Gandhi asserted the 'Shakti' he referred to symbolized the centralized power under Modi's leadership, encompassing various institutions. PM Modi, in response, reiterated his reverence for women as embodiments of 'Shakti' and vowed to defend it. The exchange underscores the escalating political tension as India gears up for the impending elections.
