The ruling party's national president turned the heat up on the opposition on Wednesday, November 4, 2026 — accusing Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge of using offensive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and warning that voters would punish the party for it. Union Health Minister and BJP national president J. P. Nadda posted the sharp rebuke on X, invoking upcoming state polls as the ultimate referendum.
In the post, Nadda wrote: 'Kaangres itni baukhla gayi hai ki wo baar-baar Modi ji ke liye apashabdon ka prayog kar rahi hai.' ('Congress has become so rattled that it keeps using abusive words against Modi ji.')
The charge: Kharge's language and BJP's counter-attack
Nadda squarely blamed Kharge for what he described as 'badajubaani' — foul-mouthed conduct — and said the public had already delivered a verdict on such behaviour in the past. The specific remarks Kharge is alleged to have made were not detailed in the post, but Nadda's framing was pointed: he cast the Congress chief's rhetoric as proof of a party 'restless to regain power' rather than one engaging on governance. It is a well-worn but effective BJP playbook move — absorbing an opposition attack and redirecting attention to the opposition's desperation rather than the substance of the criticism. The hashtag #SaveDemocracyRemoveAnarchy anchored the post in a broader counter-narrative the party has been building against the Congress.2027 UP and Uttarakhand polls: the electoral clock starts ticking
Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, and the hill state of Uttarakhand are both headed to assembly elections in 2027. The BJP retained Uttar Pradesh in the 2022 assembly polls — a result that significantly reinforced Prime Minister Modi's national standing — and will defend that hold in a highly watched contest. Nadda's post names both states explicitly, signalling that the party's campaign messaging is already in motion more than a year ahead of polling. 'In 2027 in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and other states, as well as in 2029, the public will teach them a lesson,' he wrote — tying the state polls directly to the 2029 general election narrative.Congress in opposition: the long road since 2014
Congress has been out of power at the national level since the 2014 general election. Kharge, who took over as party president in October 2022, has sought to sharpen the opposition's voice — but BJP leaders have consistently framed that sharpness as panic rather than principle. The exchange is part of a steady drumbeat of partisan sparring that tends to accelerate as state election cycles approach. With 2027 now firmly on the horizon, both parties are staking out ground, testing messages, and watching which attacks land with voters in India's largest electoral battleground. The ballot box, as Nadda reminded his followers, will have the final word.Point of View
The BJP chief signals that the 2027 state poll campaign is already live, more than a year before voting. The move fits a consistent BJP pattern of absorbing opposition attacks and repackaging them as evidence of Congress's power-hunger rather than legitimate critique. For Congress, the challenge is to respond on policy substance without feeding the 'rattled opposition' narrative that BJP is carefully constructing.
