In a swift and calculated move, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fired back at the Congress party after Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge penned an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The letter sought to elucidate the Congress manifesto’s key points, but it seems the BJP had other plans.
The Letter and the Retort
In the two-page letter, Kharge slammed the PM for the language he had been using during the election rallies and said that he would happily meet him to explain him the actual reality of Congress manifesto.
Kharge further added that the PM was being misinformed by his advisors who were merely applausing him and keeping him away from what the “right thinking people in the country who are disappointed by his speeches”.
“It has become your habit to seize on a few words taken out of context and create a communal divide. You are lowering the dignity of the chair by speaking in this manner,” Kharge said while slamming the PM for his remarks.
Kharge’s two-page missive to PM Modi highlighted the Congress party’s stance on wealth redistribution and other critical issues.
However, the BJP wasted no time in unearthing an old video featuring former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. In this video, Singh discusses the entitlement of minorities to preferential treatment.
The BJP’s response was clear: they juxtaposed Singh’s words with the Congress’s manifesto promises, emphasizing the apparent contradictions. The video, which resurfaced like a political phoenix, has become a focal point in the ongoing electoral battle.
The Video: Manmohan Singh’s Take

In the video, Manmohan Singh articulates the view that minorities deserve special consideration. While the context of his statement remains crucial, the BJP has seized upon it as ammunition against the Congress. Singh’s words, spoken years ago, now echo through the political corridors, raising questions about consistency and intent.
The Battle of Manifestos both Congress and BJP
As the Lok Sabha elections heat up, manifestos have become battlegrounds for ideological warfare. The Congress manifesto, with its promises of wealth redistribution and social justice, has drawn both praise and criticism. The BJP, on the other hand, champions its own vision, emphasizing economic growth, national security, and cultural identity.
The Larger Narrative
Beyond the video and the manifesto, this clash represents a broader narrative. It underscores the ideological chasm between the two major parties. While the Congress leans towards social welfare and inclusivity, the BJP leans towards economic reforms and nationalism. The electorate now faces a choice: which path will lead India forward?
The Verdict
As the nation awaits the election results, the Manmohan Singh video remains a potent symbol. It encapsulates the complexities of Indian politics—where past statements can shape present debates. Whether it sways voters or merely adds fuel to the fire, only time will tell.
In this high-stakes game of political chess, both parties maneuver their pieces, hoping to checkmate their opponents. The Congress’s manifesto and the BJP’s video are but moves in this grand strategy. As citizens, we watch, analyze, and decide—our votes echoing the sentiments of a nation in flux.
