The political battle between Congress and the BJP has intensified after Rahul Gandhi's remarks about "fighting the Indian state," drawing sharp criticism from BJP leaders.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman sharply criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday for his recent remarks about the Indian state, questioning his commitment to the Constitution. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Sitharaman took aim at Gandhi, asking, "So, @INCIndia and @RahulGandhi, what are you carrying a copy of the Constitution for in your hand?" Her remark was in response to Gandhi's claim that opposition parties, including Congress, were not just fighting the BJP, but were also standing up against "the Indian state itself." This statement, made while inaugurating the party's new headquarters, 'Indira Bhawan,' drew significant backlash from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
