"Pakistan PR": BJP Slams Congress Over UP Leader's Nimbu-Mirchi Rafale Dig | Read

Congress leader Ajay Rai's "nimbu mirchi" swipe at the Centre, in which he used a toy plane to question why Rafale fighters are parked in hangars when they should be out avenging the Pahalgam terror attack, has sparked a massive political row. BJP leaders have slammed the Uttar Pradesh Congress president, reiterating their charge that the main opposition party is spreading Pakistan's narrative in India.

This comes after Mr Rai put out visuals holding a toy plane with a lemon and chilli hanging from it. The lemon-chilli combo is said to "ward off evil" and is often used on vehicles with the belief that it protects the occupants from accidents.
