An FIR has been registered against Ajay Rai, the Uttar Pradesh Congress President, for allegedly making derogatory remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The complaint was filed by Advocate Neeraj Rawat and also includes accusations against 25 to 30 supporters, including Brijraj Ahirwar, the outgoing Secretary of the Congress Committee. BJP spokesperson CR Kesavan condemned Rai's comments as 'inexcusable and unforgivable', asserting that they reflect poorly on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who he claims encourages such behavior. Kesavan criticized Gandhi for allegedly lowering the standards of public discourse and accused him of being 'politically bankrupt'. He stated that Gandhi's recent criticisms of the central government, particularly regarding foreign policy and economic issues, demonstrate a pattern of misconduct that undermines India's image abroad. This political exchange follows Gandhi's remarks about PM Modi's five-nation visit and the government's handling of global economic risks, which he characterized as a distraction from more serious diplomatic challenges. The ongoing tensions between the BJP and Congress highlight the contentious political climate in Uttar Pradesh and India as a whole.
