The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday condemned Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for comparing Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the demon Maricha from the Ramayana, saying such remarks have insulted the office of the prime minister.
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla claimed that Congress leaders have been directed by high-level party sources to target Modi systematically. The controversy arises in the context of the Modi government's push for a women's reservation bill in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
Reddy accused the BJP-NDA of trying to undermine the Constitution, while the BJP criticized the Congress for a pattern of disrespect towards constitutional offices and figures, terming Reddy's statements as part of a broader campaign of animosity against the prime minister.
