When you are sick, you need ‘khichdi’, says senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders repeated ‘’khichdi government’ barb at the opposition. On the BJP’s nationalism narrative, he alleged that Prime Minister Modi himself has not shied away from politicising the armed forces, or projecting himself as the only capable protector of the country’s national security. “When BJP supporters speak of ‘mahamilawat’ or say another coalition government would be a ‘khichdi’, I respond that when you are sick, you need khichdi!” he said. The Congress’ credible narrative that has been put forward by the party has found widespread acceptance and popular support across the country, Tharoor added. Tharoor also said the Congress has spelt out a vision for the country that has been equally well received.
