Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has strongly responded to a comment made by Kanhaiya Kumar, who ridiculed BJP leaders by referencing "Insta reels." Fadnavis, in his reaction, accused the Congress party of orchestrating a "troll army" that attacked his wife over social media. He condemned the personal attacks, describing them as part of Congress' ongoing strategy to undermine opponents.
Fadnavis emphasized that such behavior was not only disrespectful but also detrimental to political discourse in India. He further pointed out that Congress should take responsibility for fueling such online attacks, urging the party to focus on constructive politics rather than resorting to personal smear campaigns.
This fresh exchange of words between the BJP and Congress comes amid heightened political tensions in Maharashtra. The controversy over online trolling has led to accusations and counter-accusations between political leaders, with social media playing a key role in shaping public opinion.
Fadnavis' comments are likely to intensify the ongoing political battle, as both parties continue to engage in verbal skirmishes ahead of upcoming elections. The incident highlights the growing influence of social media in Indian politics and the impact of digital platforms on public perceptions of political figures.
