  "account": "Nitin Nabin, the BJP national president, made allegations against the leader of the opposition, Rahul Gandhi, during a rally in Varanasi. Nabin claimed that Gandhi was fighting for \"ghuspaithiyas\" or infiltrators, referring to individuals whose names were removed during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The BJP chief criticized Gandhi for allegedly aligning with anti-social elements and working to undermine India's democratic principles. He also praised Prime Minister Modi's leadership, emphasizing the nation's unity and the realization of Atal Bihari Vajpayee's vision for good governance. Additionally, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed his support for Modi, stating that as long as Sanatan exists in India, Gandhi would not dare harm even a single hair on Modi's head.",
