‘Modi kahi nahi jayega broooo’: BJP hits out at Kharge over his ‘baap’ remarks on PM

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has hit back at Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge over his controversial remark about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, posting a pointed message on social media: “Modi kahi nahi jayega broooo,” on Monday.

The party shared a two-slide graphic asserting that Modi had been elected Prime Minister for a third consecutive term and enjoyed the support of voters.

In an official post on X, the BJP wrote, “We’ve a message for Congress, RaGa and Kharge: “It’s DONE, Broooo!” The accompanying graphic carried the message “Dear Kharge, Modi kahi nahi jayega!” and added, “He was voted in as pm for the third time. He has our votes broooo. Something your master will never have”.

The social media post came amid a political row over Kharge’s remark, “Modi ka baap bhi jayega”, made during an event in Patna, Bihar, on Sunday.

‘Modi ka baap bhi jayega’: Kharge’s controvesial remark sparks outrage

A ruckus broke out during Kharge’s address at the 139th birth anniversary celebration of former Bihar Chief Minister Krishna Singh. The incident took place when a person at the event said that Prime Minister Modi would not go anywhere. Kharge responded, “Modi ka baap bhi jayega”.

The BJP condemned the remark, accusing the Congress chief of crossing the boundaries of political decorum and demanding a public apology. BJP leaders also called for Kharge’s removal from the party’s top post.

Congress, however, rejected the allegations that the remark amounted to an insult. Congress MP Pawan Khera said Kharge was referring to the Prime Minister’s ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and its chief, Mohan Bhagwat.

Senior Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel also defended Kharge, arguing that the remark did not constitute an insult and accusing the BJP of selective outrage over political language.

BJP leaders step up attack

Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Congress of repeatedly violating political norms, alleging that the party had a history of using abusive language against Modi and his family.

BJP president Nitin Nabin also described Kharge’s remarks as a reflection of what he called the Congress’s ideological bankruptcy.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said political opposition should not descend into personal attacks against a leader’s family.

Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan demanded that the Congress either provide an explanation or remove Kharge from the party presidency.

Bihar BJP president Sanjay Saraogi led a protest march in Patna on Monday, with party workers raising slogans against the Congress leadership and burning a poster of Rahul Gandhi.

The protesters demanded a public apology from Kharge and warned that their agitation would continue until he apologised.

The Madhya Pradesh BJP’s state core committee also passed a resolution condemning Kharge’s remarks, state party president Hemant Khandelwal said on Monday.

Opposition questions BJP’s response

The controversy has drawn criticism from leaders beyond the BJP and Congress. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha said the language used in political exchanges could not be supported, but questioned what he described as selective outrage.

He called for a two-day parliamentary discussion on the standard of language used by both the ruling party and the opposition.

Congress Rajya Sabha member Akhilesh Prasad Singh defended Kharge, arguing that the BJP had initiated the trend of using such language in political discourse and was now objecting to it.

The exchange has intensified the political confrontation between the BJP and Congress, with both sides trading accusations over personal remarks, political decorum and the standards expected of public representatives.
