Rahul Gandhi Challenges PM Modi to Debate; BJP Urges Discussion in ParliamentPreviousNext

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has renewed his challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an open debate on issues including alleged foreign influence and electoral roll revisions. BJP leaders, including Amit Shah and Kiren Rijiju, have urged Gandhi to debate within Parliament, criticizing his approach and foreign visits. Congress accuses the government of avoiding questions on vote irregularities and foreign connections. The Election Commission's handling of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) has also been contested. Both parties continue to exchange accusations amid preparations for upcoming elections.
