It's time to end PM Modi's pride, says Pawan Khera.

Bhubaneswar: In light of BJP leader Sambit Patra's controversial statement about Lord Jagannath, senior Congress leader Pawan Khera expressed his concerns on Wednesday, claiming that the prime minister sees himself above God. Khera urged the people to take a stand against Narendra Modi's "arrogance" in the upcoming election.

Patra had caused a stir when he told reporters in Puri on Monday that the revered deity of the state, Lord Jagannath, is a devotee of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This statement sparked a nationwide controversy, leading Patra to apologize to the Lord and his followers.

During a press conference in Bhubaneswar, Khera stated that the level of arrogance within the BJP is so high that one of their leaders believes the prime minister to be above God. Despite 48 hours passing since the incident, Modi has remained silent on the matter and has not requested an apology or taken action against Patra.

Khera pointed out that if Patra were a member of the Congress party, he would have been dismissed for such behavior. He asserted that Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge would not tolerate such actions. Khera also brought up an interesting point, stating that Modi may actually be pleased with Patra's statement, as in previous TV interviews he has claimed to not have been born biologically, but rather came directly from heaven.

Khera emphasized that while people may overlook lies, they will not tolerate claims of being a devotee of God. He urged the people to take a stand against such arrogance, starting with the upcoming election in Odisha. Khera's final message was clear - it was time to break the arrogance of those who believe they are above God.
