Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday slammed the Congress over its shirtless protest at the global AI summit in Delhi, alleging that the party had turned an international event into an arena for its “gandi aur nangi” (dirty and shameless) politics.

Addressing a public gathering in Meerut, the PM said the Congress’ conduct showed how “ideologically bankrupt and impoverished” the party had become. He alleged that Congress had “crossed all limits” and that its conduct had drawn widespread criticism across the country. Modi also thanked several opposition parties for criticising the incident, saying they had stood with “truth and national pride”.

He said that representatives from over 80 countries and heads of state from around 20 nations had attended the summit in Delhi, which had made the country proud. “But what did Congress and its ecosystem do? They turned a global event of India into an arena for their ‘gandi and nangi’ (dirty and shameless) politics. I want to ask Congress leaders — the country already knows you are ‘nange’ (exposed), so why was there any need to strip further?” he said.

He said, “The leaders of the Congress hate Modi. They want to dig my grave. They oppose the BJP and they oppose the NDA — that may be necessary in their politics, and we can understand that. But Congress should have remembered that the AI Global Summit was not a BJP programme; it was a programme of the nation.”
