In the midst of an event in Patna, on October 25, 2026, marking the 139th birth anniversary of former Chief Minister Dr. Shri Krishna Singh, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge delivered an address that ignited massive political controversy when an audience member, identified in reports as Santosh Kumar, interrupted to shout that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would not go anywhere, to which Kharge angrily retorted from the podium that even Modi’s father would go (“Modi ka baap bhi jayega”), immediately triggering a loud ruckus and heavy backlash from Bharatiya Janata Party leaders like Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
He condemned the remarks as a violation of political decorum and filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India demanding penal action, while the individual who made the initial shout later claimed his words had been misinterpreted during a commotion where he was reportedly manhandled, and defenders from the opposition including Congress leader Pawan Khera claimed the heckler was a BJP worker while TMC-aligned figures defended Kharge by citing his senior age.
