In a fiery speech delivered in Mysuru, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, branding it as the "sultan of tukde tukde gang" and accusing it of harbouring intentions to weaken the nation. Addressing a public rally ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Modi asserted that the Congress's animosity towards the country had reached alarming levels.

The flag had been raised by government authorities, and the Chief Minister alleged that the opposition's actions were politically motivated ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
