In a post on X, Congress's media and publicity department head Pawan Khera alleged that the prime minister has the audacity of comparing himself with “Chhathi Maiya” after declaring himself non-biological.

“As soon as the drama of the 5-star Bisleri pool was exposed, the prime minister got riled up. To cover up his own embarrassment, he is now calling it an insult of Chhathi Maiya -- the audacity to compare himself to Chhathi Maiya?

“He has already declared himself non-biological and now, he is indulging in the foolishness of portraying himself as god,” Khera said in his post in Hindi.
