PM Modi Retaliates Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Shakti’ Remark; Says ‘I Accept The Challenge’

In retaliation for Congressman Rahul Gandhi’s “shakti” (power) remarks, PM Narendra Modi said on Monday that every mother and daughter in the nation is a type of “shakti.” At a Lok Sabha election rally in Jagtial, Telangana, PM Modi was speaking.

“The INDI alliance in their manifesto said that their fight is against ‘shakti’. For me, every mother, daughter and sister is a form of ‘shakti’. I worship them in the form of ‘shakti’. I am the worshiper of Bharat Mata…Their manifesto is to finish ‘shakti’, and I accept the challenge…’Main jaan ki baazi laga dunga’…,” Modi said.

The prime minister further talked of how the landing point of the Chandrayaan-3 was also named ‘Shiv Shakti’. “Can someone talk about the destruction of ‘shakti’?…We dedicated the success of the Chandrayaan mission by naming the point where Chandrayaan landed as ‘Shiv Shakti’…The fight is between those who want to destroy ‘shakti’ and those who worship ‘shakti’…’Muqabla 4 June ko ho jaaega’…,” he added.

Rahul Gandhi attacked the NDA government on Sunday at the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’s closing ceremony in Mumbai. He compared them to the Hindu symbol of “shakti,” which is frequently associated with Maa Durga, and announced the opposition’s fight against it.

“In Hinduism, there is a term called ‘shakti’. We are fighting against that shakti. The question is, what is that shakti? The soul of the king in the EVM and every institution of the country, in ED, CBI and Income Tax department,” said Rahul Gandhi.

Attacking the prime minister, Rahul Gandhi said, “Modi is a mask’ who works for a shakti’. He is a shallow man who doesn’t have a 56-inch chest.”

Rahul Gandhi was dubbed “a Hinduphobic and misogynist” by BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya, who was offended by his comments. Amit Malviya also brought up the fact that Udhayanidhi Stalin, another well-known member of the INDIA bloc, had made remarks critical of Sanatan Dharm.

“After DMK’s Udhayanidhi Stalin called for the annihilation of Sanatan Dharma, it is now Rahul Gandhi’s turn to denigrate Shakti. Maa Durga embodies the diverse aspects of Shakti, or power, known by various names like Sati, Parvati, Uma, Durga, Kali, Gauri, Tripura Sundari, Shivangi, Mahadevi, and more. She is considered the primal power (adi shakti) of the Lord, responsible for creation, sustenance, and destruction. As the creative power (Shrishti shakti) of Brahma, the sustaining power (paalan shakti) of Vishnu, and the destruction force (samhaar shakti) of Lord Shiva, she is revered as the mother figure in Hindu belief. Shakti also signifies women empowerment,” Malviya wrote on X.
