The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has officially announced plans to stage nationwide protests on October 26. The demonstrations are organized to express the party's strong disapproval of recent remarks made by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge concerning Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Specifically, the BJP has taken issue with Kharge’s use of the word 'baap' (father) in reference to the Prime Minister during a public address.

While the BJP characterizes the comment as an insult to the office of the Prime Minister and a reflection of the opposition's political rhetoric, the Congress party has not yet issued a formal retraction or apology regarding the specific phrasing. The protests are expected to take place across various states, with BJP workers and leaders planning to hold demonstrations to demand an apology from the Congress leadership. This incident marks another point of friction between the ruling party and the opposition, as both sides continue to trade accusations regarding the tone and content of political discourse in the lead-up to upcoming electoral cycles. The protests are intended to mobilize the party base and highlight what the BJP describes as disrespectful conduct by opposition leadership.
