BJP Holds Nationwide Protests Over Congress President’s Remarks About PM Modi’s Late Father

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged protests across India on 26 October 2026 to condemn remarks made by Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge about former Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s father.

The protests were organized in major cities including Delhi, Patna, Ranchi, Lucknow, Jammu and Kashmir, Bengaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, and several other states. BJP workers and leaders marched near the Congress office in Bhubaneswar, at Sena Bhawan Circle and Rajaji Marg in Delhi, and in front of Kharge’s residence.

State BJP leaders such as Harsh Malhotra (Union Minister of State), Sanjay Saraogi (Bihar BJP chief), Brajesh Pathak (Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh), Pushkar Singh Dhami (Uttarakhand Chief Minister), and Rajeev Chandrasekhar (Kerala BJP president) joined the demonstrations.

The party demanded a public apology from the Congress leadership for what it called “derogatory” and “indecent” remarks. No official statement from Congress has been released yet.

The protests were peaceful and focused on the demand for an apology. The BJP’s nationwide campaign aimed to highlight the perceived disrespect towards the former PM’s family.
