During a Congress rally in Patna on Oct. 25, 2026, Kharge responded to a heckler’s claim that Modi would not leave office, repeating the phrase 'Modi ka baap bhi jayega' in a heated exchange.
The heckler, Santosh Kumar, was dragged to the ground, thrown out, and later emerged outside to assert he had been misinterpreted and actually wanted Modi out of office.
BJP spokesperson Tuhin Sinha blasted Kharge on X, calling his remarks 'un‑couth' and accusing Congress of manufacturing anarchy.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh, a Lok Sabha MP from Bihar, added that the incident revealed a new wave of folly within Congress ranks.
The rally, held to mark the 139th birth anniversary of former Chief Minister Shri Krishna Singh, turned a commemorative event into a political flashpoint.
In response, the BJP has announced it will pursue disciplinary action against Kharge and is considering a legal challenge.
