During a speech in Andhra Pradesh, Prime Minister Modi made a disparaging comment about Uddhav Thackeray, referring to Balasaheb Thackeray's children as fake members of the Shiv Sena. He also targeted Thackeray and Sharad Pawar.
Prime Minister Modi's comments in Andhra Pradesh highlighted his focus on Thackeray and Pawar. A prominent Congress leader expressed views that could potentially divide the party, leading to disapproval of the advisor to the Gandhi family. The Congress party's opinions on people from different regions of India were also scrutinized, with references to North-Easterners and South Indians.
Questions were raised about the acceptance of such statements by the Chief Ministers of Telangana and Tamil Nadu, as well as alliances between DMK and Congress.
