Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge sparked a political controversy in Patna after responding to a man in the audience with the remark, “Modi ka baap bhi jayega”, referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) condemned the comment and demanded accountability. However, the man, identified as Santosh Kumar, later claimed his full statement was misunderstood. He said he had meant that Modi would not leave office unless there was a public revolt. Kumar was reportedly beaten by Congress supporters and removed from the venue. The incident triggered a fresh exchange between the BJP and Congress. (PC: NDTV)
