BJP Rajya Sabha MP Satish Poonia has targeted the Congress over its internal divisions in Rajasthan, saying the party’s rival camps could become its own “Bhasmasur.” His remarks framed the infighting as a serious weakness for the opposition and suggested that Congress leaders were damaging their party from within.
Poonia’s criticism focused on the continuing perception of factionalism in the Rajasthan Congress. By using the mythological reference, he sought to underline the idea of self-destruction, turning the spotlight away from the BJP and onto the opposition’s internal tensions.
Alongside his attack on Congress, Poonia also voiced support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi on issues linked to security and elections. That alignment reinforces the BJP’s attempt to project itself as united and firm on national matters while portraying Congress as distracted by internal battles.
The comments add to the sharp political exchanges surrounding Rajasthan, where leadership and party cohesion remain major themes. Poonia’s intervention is likely to be seen as part of a broader BJP effort to use Congress infighting as a political line of attack in the state.
