**Headline: Puducherry BJP Condemns Congress’s ‘Vote Chori’ Campaign, Defends Modi**

**PUDUCHERRY, September 16, 2025 (The Hindu) -** The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Puducherry unit has strongly criticized the Congress party and the INDIA bloc in a series of resolutions passed during a State Council meeting held on Tuesday.

The BJP condemned Congress’s ‘Vote Chori’ (Vote Theft) campaign, accusing the party of attempting to create a false narrative against the Central government. A resolution specifically called out Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi for spearheading what they deemed a misleading and damaging campaign.

Further, the BJP criticized the Congress party for allegedly disrespecting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother during the recent ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ (Voter Rights Rally) in Bihar.

Another key resolution addressed concerns surrounding new legislation introduced by the Central government. The BJP defended the law, which would remove Prime Ministers, Chief Ministers, and Ministers from office if they are jailed for over 30 days for offenses carrying a minimum sentence of five years. The party argued that the legislation is aimed at curbing corruption and accused the INDIA bloc of spreading misinformation about its purpose and impact.

The meeting saw participation from prominent BJP leaders, including Union Ministers Mansukh Mandaviya and Arjun Ram Meghwal, BJP in-charge for the Union Territory Nirmal Kumar Surana, Home Minister A. Namassivayam, and BJP president V. P. Ramalingam.

The resolutions reflect the ongoing political tensions and ideological clashes between the BJP and the opposition, particularly concerning issues of governance, corruption, and respect for national leaders.
