Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during a public rally held in Mysuru, Karnataka, on Saturday. Speaking before an energized crowd, Kharge raised serious concerns over the Prime Minister\u2019s prolonged silence on the year-long ethnic violence in Manipur, questioning his priorities and commitment to all regions of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kharge expressed deep anguish over the continued unrest in Manipur, where violence between communities has persisted for over a year. Highlighting the humanitarian and political crisis in the northeastern state, the Congress president criticized the central government’s inaction and Modi\u2019s absence from the conflict zone. He pointedly remarked that while the Prime Minister has visited 42 foreign countries during his tenure, he has not found the time to visit Manipur even once. \u201cYou\u2019ve gone to 42 countries, but you couldn\u2019t go to Manipur? Is Manipur not a part of India?\u201d he asked, drawing loud applause from the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Manipur crisis, which erupted in 2023, has seen a prolonged cycle of violence and displacement, causing widespread concern among human rights groups and opposition parties. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Kharge noted that the Prime Minister has remained largely disengaged, offering no on-ground support, solidarity, or reassurance to the affected people. The Congress leader accused the BJP-led central government of indifference and failure to provide leadership during a time of national crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the Manipur issue, Kharge directed his attack towards the ideological foundations of the BJP and its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He alleged that both organizations are systematically working to alter the Constitution of India. \u201cThe BJP and RSS want to change the Constitution, but the people of India will not let them succeed,\u201d Kharge declared. He reminded the public of the historic sacrifices and struggles that went into drafting the Constitution and emphasized the need to protect democratic institutions and principles. His speech served as a clarion call to the people to stay vigilant and united against any attempts to weaken constitutional values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Positioning the Congress party as a pro-people and development-focused alternative to the BJP, Kharge differentiated between what he described as the action-driven ethos of Congress versus the rhetoric-heavy approach of the BJP. \u201cIn the Congress party, people work for the people. In Modi\u2019s BJP, people only talk,\u201d he said. He added that the Congress has always prioritized people\u2019s issues and remained committed to inclusive development, while the BJP has focused on self-promotion and polarizing narratives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kharge\u2019s address also carried an undertone of warning and motivation. He urged the public to recognize the dangers of unchecked power and divisive politics. He reiterated that the current political atmosphere under the BJP is marked by erosion of democratic values and marginalization of dissent, and therefore, it is essential for citizens to reclaim their voice through the ballot box and mass participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Congress president\u2019s rally in Mysuru marks another step in the party\u2019s campaign to rebuild its grassroots support and project itself as a robust national alternative to the BJP in the lead-up to future elections. His attack on Modi\u2019s absence from Manipur and the broader ideological concerns about the future of India\u2019s democracy reflect the Congress party\u2019s efforts to redefine its narrative as a defender of constitutional morality and inclusive governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the country continues to grapple with internal tensions, Kharge\u2019s speech emphasized the urgent need for leadership that engages with all regions and communities of India, especially during crises. His words, calling for both awareness and action, signal a continuation of Congress\u2019s renewed political push across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
