Controversy erupted as Samajwadi Party MP Ajendra Singh Lodhi allegedly labeled Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'anti-national' during a protest in Mahoba. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reacted strongly, accusing Lodhi of using disrespectful language against the prime minister.

The incident occurred during a gathering led by Lodhi to submit a memorandum to the governor addressing various issues, including power cuts and inflation. A viral video allegedly captured Lodhi responding critically to Modi's austerity appeals, prompting backlash from BJP leaders.
