Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent warning to isolate “Dimagi Naxals,” calling it a fresh variant of the BJP’s political rhetoric against critics. He argued that terms like “urban naxals,” “andolanjeevis,” and “tukde tukde gang” were vague political abuses aimed at discrediting the Opposition .
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis endorsed PM Modi’s ‘dimagi Naxals’ remarks, alleging ideological Naxalism promotes anarchy. He also defended the full rendition of Vande Mataram, discussed conditions for women’s reservation and criticised Opposition leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge for missing Independence Day events
