Slogans Raised During PM Modi's Gujarat Visit; Congress Responds with 'You Wish'

Political exchanges occurred on Friday after chants of "Modi nahi jayenge" were heard during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's interaction with students at the Bharat Bovine Breeding and Research Centre (BBBRC) in Gujarat's Banaskantha district. The slogan translates to "Modi will not leave."

In response to the slogans raised while the Prime Minister posed for a group photograph at the cattle farm, Congress leader Pawan Khera posted a jab stating, "You wish!" He added further remarks regarding upcoming parliamentary sessions.

This follows a previous remark by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge during a Patna event after an audience member interjected that the Prime Minister would not go anywhere.
