BJP National Spokesperson Sambit Patra reacted to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge's "PM Narendra Modi terrorist" remark, saying it was "no slip of the tongue." He alleged that Rahul Gandhi frequently uses abusive language against the PM and claimed Kharge made the remark at his behest. Kharge made the statement while criticising the AIADMK-NDA alliance ahead of Tamil Nadu Assembly polls.
