The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his "fight against a shakti" remarks. Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri presented Gandhi's statement verbatim, alleging insult to religious sentiments. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also criticized the remarks, accusing the INDIA bloc of deliberate Hinduism insults. Gandhi clarified his stance, citing 'shakti' of unrighteousness, corruption, and falsehood, not religious power. The dispute intensifies ahead of elections. Gandhi's original statement, made at a Mumbai rally, sparked controversy as parties clash over religious sensitivities and political narratives.
