One day after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to an open public debate, party president Mallikarjun Kharge said on Wednesday that the prime minister should come forward and answer the nation’s questions on ‘vote chori’, adding on X that Modi has no answers. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma rejected the idea of a public debate, insisting such discussions belong in Parliament and urging Gandhi to raise issues like Bofors and the Bhopal gas tragedy. Home Minister Amit Shah also challenged Gandhi to a parliamentary debate, a call backed by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and JD(U) ally.
