The Myth of Congress: How Internal Fights Become the Party's Bhasmasur
Ah, the old Bhasmasur story. Congress leaders, it seems, have decided to rewrite Hindu mythology, casting themselves not as the mighty Shiva but as the hapless demon, granted a destructive boon only to turn it upon their own heads. Who needs external opposition when you have a perfectly good internal circular firing squad? It’s less a political party and more a reality TV show, perpetually renewed for another season of dramatic backstabbing and strategic self-sabotage. Frankly, at this point, their biggest rival isn't the BJP; it's the mirror.
This pointed jibe comes from BJP Rajya Sabha MP Satish Poonia, who recently ridiculed the persistent factionalism plaguing the Congress in Rajasthan. Drawing a vivid parallel to the mythological demon Bhasmasur – who gained the power to burn anyone whose head he touched, only to be tricked into touching his own – Poonia suggested that the party's internal squabbles are its ultimate undoing. His comments further solidified the BJP's narrative, aligning with Prime Minister Modi's stance on national security and electoral strategies, painting the Congress as a party consumed by its own divisions rather than focused on governance or a coherent opposition.
