The BJP has criticized the Congress after comedian Pulkit Mani mimicked Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an event in Indore. The Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attended the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event alongside the comedian. During the skit, Mani greeted Rahul as "my friend" and asked him how he was, to which Rahul replied, "I'm fine; how are you, Modi ji?"
Mani then responded with "Great harassment" and laughed repeatedly, using the phrase "my friend" multiple times. Rahul eventually asked Mani to "tell me more" and continued laughing while pointing towards the audience. BJP leaders, including Union ministers Piyush Goyal, Kiren Rijiju, and Smriti Irani, as well as national secretary Sandeep Pathak, attacked Rahul Gandhi over the performance, accusing him of desecrating Indian values and bashing the Prime Minister.
Congress leaders, including Bhupesh Baghel, Imraan Masood, and TS Singh Deo, defended the event, questioning why similar concerns were not raised when the mothers of other leaders were allegedly insulted.
