Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Congress party clashed over political rhetoric during a recent virtual event for Maharashtra's development projects. Modi criticized Congress for spreading divisive politics, using strong language to describe them as a 'factory of hatred.'

Following the Congress' loss in the Haryana elections, Modi seized the opportunity to assert that the opposition lacks responsible leadership. Meanwhile, Congress' Pawan Khera fired back, questioning the appropriateness of Modi using a government program for political discourse.

The political tension comes as Maharashtra gears up for its legislative assembly elections, with Modi aiming for a broader BJP victory amid accusations of Congress neglecting development in favor of corruption during their regime.
