Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the Congress party, calling it "parasitic" and accusing it of relying on alliances with other parties to contest elections. He stated that Congress has lost its national relevance and now survives only through the support of other parties in states like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand. Modi also criticized Congress for its historical treatment of marginalized communities, claiming that the party deliberately kept Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) divided to prevent their unity. He argued that Congress only granted OBC reservations when it was out of power, pointing to the lack of unity among OBCs during Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi's tenures. Modi claimed that when OBCs united in the 1990s, they became politically powerful, and Congress lost the ability to form majority governments, marking a shift in the country's political dynamics.
