Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “terrorising” political parties by misusing government machinery and central agencies to stifle the Opposition, triggering strong reactions from the BJP, which attacked the Opposition leader for calling Modi a “terrorist.

Addressing a press conference in Chennai alongside AICC General Secretary (Organisation) KC Venugopal, Kharge initially referred to the Prime Minister as a “terrorist” while criticising the AIADMK‘s alliance with the BJP.
