Congress Leader Jairam Ramesh References 'Ab Tak Chappan' in Critique of PM Modi
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi by referencing actor Nana Patekar's film "Ab Tak Chappan," playing on Modi's 2014 "56-inch chest" remark. Ramesh praised Patekar's contributions to theatre and cinema while suggesting the public questions Modi's self-assured image. The comments come amid opposition protests over alleged electoral roll issues, with the Election Commission responding to related objections. Both articles highlight Ramesh's remarks and the political context without endorsing either side.
