The BJP condemned Congress leader Udit Raj on Friday after he compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Ravana. BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi accused Congress of maintaining historical ties to Mughal invaders while opposing Hindu religious figures. He cited visits by Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Manmohan Singh, and Rahul Gandhi to Babur's tomb between 1959 and 2005.
Trivedi argued that the party has fallen under the influence of anti-national elements, and he urged senior Congress members to intervene. Raj had criticized Modi's construction projects, but Trivedi suggested this reflected a broader pattern of disrespect toward Hindu traditions. BJP leader Shehzad Poonawala also criticized the remarks, referencing recent, controversial statements by other Congress politicians about religious figures.
