The Congress and the BJP faced off in yet another political showdown this time over BJP’s iconic figure Veer Savarkar. The latest row comes after the Congress posted a photo with a caption invoking Veer Savarkar.
In the photo, Rahul Gandhi is seen driving his car and the caption says, “Did you think I am Savarkar… The name is Rahul Gandhi.” The post got nearly 100,000 views on Twitter within one hour of posting.

The BJP slammed the Congress almost immediately. Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju tweeted, “I sincerely request people not to insult a great soul like Veer Savarkar.”
