The Bharatiya Janata Party has sharply criticised senior Congress leaders over statements made during significant Hindu festivals. Highlighting remarks by opposition figures such as Salman Khurshid and Sonia Gandhi, the ruling party accused the Congress leadership of acting with political motives.
The BJP also condemned comments made by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge concerning Hindutva and religious prayers. Party representatives urged the opposition to refrain from politicising traditional celebrations and directly accused them of holding anti-Hindu sentiments.
