Using abusive words against PM Modi new normal for Congress: BJP

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra cited reports of Karnataka Congress leader V.S. Ugrappa calling PM Modi "Bhasmasur"
The BJP on December 3 said that using abusive words against Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become a "new normal" for the Congress.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra cited reports of Karnataka Congress leader V.S. Ugrappa calling Mr. Modi "Bhasmasur", a demon in Indian mythology, to hit out at the opposition party. He noted that it comes close on the heels of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge throwing "Ravan" barb at the Prime Minister.
It has become an issue of common occurrence as far as the Congress is concerned. The Congress has become an abusive party, he alleged at a press conference.
Citing U.S. President Joe Biden's statement that he stands with his "friend" Mr. Modi as India took over the G-20 presidency, Patra said on one hand the world stands with him and on the other, the Congress uses such language for him.
"This is sad and worrisome," the BJP spokesperson said.
Drawing on the epic Mahabharata, he said the Congress has thrown "100 abuses" at Mr. Modi and people will wield 'Sudarshan Chakra' like Lord Krishna to finish off the opposition party democratically in the Gujarat Assembly polls.
The BJP leader cited several development and welfare initiatives of the Mr. Modi government to assert that such a leader cannot be a "Bhasmasur".
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
