BJP rebukes Mallikarjun Kharge’s ‘illegal’ comment, says it insults voters’ mandate

Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge recently described a political decision as illegal, suggesting it violated constitutional norms. In response, the Bharatiya Janata Party issued a sharp rebuttal, asserting that such a statement undermines the democratic mandate awarded by the electorate. A BJP spokesperson emphasized that the party respects the will of the people and warned that disparaging the mandate could erode public trust. The party called for responsible discourse, urging all political actors to honor the verdict delivered at the ballot box. No further escalation was reported as both sides continue their parliamentary engagements.
