‘Ek Akela Modi Sabpe Bhaari…’: BL Santhosh’s Retort to Priyank Kharge’s Jibe on X

As the exit poll results for the five states on Friday, hinted at a 2-all – Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the lead in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, while giving the Congress the edge in Telangana and Chhattisgarh – Congress’s Priyank Kharge started another war, away from the poll battleground, on X. Within hours, he got a retort from BL Santhosh, National General Secretary (Org), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as the results painted a different picture.

Kharge, Minister for IT/BT and Rural Development & Panchayat Raj in Karnataka and chairman, Communications, KPCC, wrote on X on Saturday: “Godhi Media is flashing BJP President JP Nadda’s pictures all over the television screens, instead of PM Modi’s. Looks like BJP is losing tomorrow’s elections for sure. Elementary, my dear Watson!”

As the results came out on Sunday, the BJP swept Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, while the Congress ousted the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana. The counting of votes for Mizoram will be held on Monday.

Hitting back at Kharge, Santhosh posted aon X: “Any comments now Sir …!!!”

Following up further, he posted: “Ek akela Modi, sabpe bhaari…” The accompanying picture read: “Desh mein ek hi guarantee chalti hai, Modi ki guarantee.”

NOT THE FIRST TIME

Udhyanidhi Stalin’s remarks on how Sanatan Dharma needs to be eradicated had led to another such war of words between the two leaders.

Reacting to came Kharge’s comments with a post on X, Santhosh had said, “So if there is an infection in somebody’s stomach, you chop off the head..??”

Kharge replied, saying: “So glad that BL Santhosh avare agrees that there is an infection that needs treatment. There have been many infections for over thousands of years & is still prevalent today that discriminates between humans & denies them their dignity of being a human. I am not as intelligent as you are, but please enlighten me… (sic)”
