Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi, labeling Gandhi a 'failed product' and accusing Congress of undermining India's achievements and seeking foreign intervention. Congress leaders, including Shashi Tharoor, rejected these claims, highlighting Rahul Gandhi's growing appeal among young voters and the party's internal democracy. The BJP and Congress exchanged sharp remarks amid ongoing protests over electoral issues, reflecting deep political divisions ahead of upcoming elections.
