Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hit out at Congress, accusing it of using a global event for its “dirty and naked politics” after its youth wing leaders staged a shirtless protest during the recent India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. According to PM Modi, the protest showed how “ideologically bankrupt” and “impoverished” the grand old party has become.

In a scathing jibe at Congress, PM Modi said, “You are already naked, then why did you feel the need to take off your clothes?”

“What the Congress leaders did there shows how ideologically bankrupt and impoverished the oldest party of the country has become. Congress is busy defaming its own country. Some political parties within the country cannot digest India’s success. We just witnessed the world’s largest AI conference in India. But what did the Congress and its ecosystem do? The Congress turned a global event for India into a platform for its dirty and naked politics,” the PM said while addressing a gathering in Meerut.

“Congress leaders hate me, they want to dig my grave. They don’t even hesitate to insult my mother. Congress should have remembered that the AI Global Summit was not a BJP event, and no BJP leader was present at that time. This was a national work.
