BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla has ridiculed Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi's recent statement that people "tremble with fear" when they see Rahul Gandhi. Poonawalla, in a response, joked that it is not the general public but Congress members themselves who are "trembling" at the prospect of Rahul Gandhi delivering speeches in Delhi. He suggested that Congress fears his speeches could inadvertently boost the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), making it a stronger contender in the region. "Priyanka Gandhi is saying that people tremble on seeing Rahul Gandhi. I agree with this. Congress people tremble a lot. They tremble so much that they have requested Rahul Gandhi not to give speeches in Delhi, otherwise AAP will start winning. People of his own party tremble at him," Poonawalla said.

MP Sanjay Raut has strongly criticized the BJP's handling of the recent attack on actor Saif Ali Khan, following Mumbai Police's suspicion that the assailant might be Bangladeshi. Raut questioned the BJP's claims of an "international conspiracy" behind the incident, dismissing them as an attempt to incite fear ahead of Mumbai’s upcoming municipal elections. Speaking to the media, Raut remarked, “Who is claiming that the attacker is a Bangladeshi? Is it the BJP? They are fabricating stories of an international conspiracy. It’s simply an attack on an actor, and people deserve to know the truth.” Raut further lashed out at the central government, asserting that if the attacker is indeed a Bangladeshi national, responsibility lies with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He added, “If the attacker is from Bangladesh, it is the responsibility of the central government, and Amit Shah should resign. We must remove all Bangladeshis, starting with Sheikh Hasina, who has been granted asylum.”
