Prithvi Raj Chavan: Senior Congress leader and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithvi Raj Chavan has stirred a controversy that has shaken the political circles of India.
What did Prithvi Raj Chavan Said?
Chavan suggested a hypothetical and rather shocking scenario that there may be a possibility that U.S. President Donald Trump could “kidnap” Prime Minister Narendra Modi if things don’t go his way politically.
The provocative statement of Chavan drew instant reactions across media platforms, prompting both outrage and curiosity about what he truly meant.
During an interaction addressing the democratic resilience and foreign policy of India, Chavan referenced Trump’s controversial stance on international affairs and the U.S. role in Venezuela’s political crisis. He questioned, “What if something like Venezuela happens in India? What if the U.S. President decides to act the same way here?”
It was noted by many political observers that the choice of words by Chavan, especially mentioned a “kidnapping” could easily turn a nuanced geopolitical argument into a provocative headline-grabber.
Many social media users and BJP party members reacted sharply, calling it a baseless and disrespectful comment that maligns the office of the Indian Prime Minister. Many demanded an apology from Chavan, asserting that such sensational remarks damage India’s global image.
