Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 30 (ANI): Karnataka Legislative Assembly Leader of Opposition Chalavadi Narayanaswamy spoke on Congress' 'Gayab' post targeting PM Narendra Modi.

He said that in the next election, Congress will become 'Gayab' and stated that the party is more popular in Pakistan than India. He added that citizens of India have become increasingly opposed to Congress because they have seen its true colours.

'In the next election, Congress will become 'Gayab', Congress is popular in Pakistan than in India. Citizens of India have become totally against Congress because people have seen their colours', he told ANI.

Meanwhile, after facing severe backlash from the BJP party, the Congress party has now deleted its controversial social media post featuring a headless poster with the word 'GAYAB' (missing), which targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The post showed an image of a kurta-pyjama and black sandals with the word 'GAYAB' and the caption 'Jimmedariyo ke samay-Gayab' (Missing during the time of responsibility). This drew intense criticism from the BJP and its allies.

The move came after the BJP slammed Congress for the post, accusing it of echoing Pakistan's narrative in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir.

BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said that the Congress deleted its 'Sar Tan Se Juda' imagery tweet due to pressure from the people of India.

'Under Pressure from the people of India, the Congress party deletes it's 'Sar Tan Se Juda' imagery tweet! This will not hide the Anti-National Pro-Pakistan Characteristic of Congress!' he said in a post on X.

BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia had also sharply criticised the Congress, accusing it of sending the wrong message to Pakistan.'They are giving signals to Pakistan that in this terrorist attack, the Congress party stands with Pakistan and not with their own nation.

This is not an innocent post by the Congress party. It is a sinister, poisonous design trying to weaken the integrity of our nation and target the Prime Minister of the country,' Bhatia said. (ANI)
