According to the Hindustan Times, the row began during an event in Bihar marking the 139th birth anniversary of Shrikrishna Singh, where Kharge remarked, \"Modi ka baap bhi jayega,\" while discussing those involved in alleged irregularities during the Special Intensive Revision exercise. The Times of India reports that BJP worker Krishna Kumar Singh has demanded an apology from Kharge within 24 hours.\n\nThe BJP has described Kharge's comments regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late father as \"insulting, indecent and offensive.\" The Indian Express - India reports that the party has announced nationwide protests for Monday, with state units expected to stage demonstrations at their respective headquarters.
