The political battlefield is ablaze after Congress leader Udit Raj compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ‘Modern Ravan’, warning that his ‘golden palace will soon fall’. His explosive remark triggered a sharp counterattack from the BJP, which called it derogatory and disrespectful. BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said such insults only expose the Congress’s desperation and cannot diminish Modi’s stature. The timing of the remark, just ahead of Dussehra and key elections, has intensified the symbolism of good versus evil in India’s politics. As the BJP and Congress clash over language and legacy, the controversy underscores the bitterness that now defines Indian political discourse. Will such remarks sway voters, or will they backfire?
