PM Modi is a terrorist: Mallikarjun Kharge sparks row, BJP hits back

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has written to the Election Commission, complaining about the “grossly derogatory remarks” against PM Modi.

Speaking to reporters in Karnataka’s Kalburgi, Kharge accused PM Modi of using CBI and other agencies to “scare people” and defeat them in elections.

"I did not speak against the PM. The PM is terrorising politicians, candidates and regarding this, I said that tax terrorism is happening, ED is conducting raids, Income Tax Dept is conducting raids, and CBI is conducting raids. This terrorism is being facilitated by the PM. I did not call him a terrorist; he is facilitating terrorism to scare people. He is trying to silence people through raids and attempting to defeat them in elections. This is what I said in Chennai," Kharge told ANI.
