Ahead of the Dussehra festival, several opposition leaders have drawn comparisons between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Ravana, sparking political contention.
Delhi Congress leader Udit Raj reportedly likened PM Modi to a “modern Ravana,” suggesting that a “golden palace” being built would eventually face destruction. Concurrently, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut allegedly called for “burning Ravana in Delhi,” made accusations of electoral malpractice, and proposed renaming “Chor Bazaar” to “Modi Bazaar.”
These remarks have triggered significant political tension. This is not the first such instance; during the Gujarat elections, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge previously compared PM Modi to a “many-headed Ravana,” emphasizing his omnipresence in BJP campaigns.
