Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a scathing reply to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's controversial speech in the Lok Sabha, lambasting his "child-like intelligence" and calling his party a "parasite". Modi urged the Congress to stop claiming moral victory and accept the mandate of the Lok Sabha elections, citing data and warning against attempts to spread "anarchy" and misinformation. He also accused the Opposition of spreading lies about issues such as MSP for farmers and the Rafael deal.
