At an election rally in Idukki district, Kerala, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge made controversial remarks implying that the educated people of Kerala cannot be misled like those in Gujarat and other states. His comments, which included labeling the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as 'poisonous snakes,' drew sharp criticism from BJP leaders. BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad condemned Kharge's statements as 'shameless, demeaning, and utterly despicable,' and demanded a public apology. This incident has sparked a nationwide political clash, raising questions about whether prominent Congress figures like Rahul, Sonia, and Priyanka Gandhi support Kharge's remarks. The controversy comes at a crucial time as elections approach, intensifying the already heated political atmosphere.
