The Prime Minister declared, "Now, it's not blood flowing in my veins, but warm vermillion." Modi stands firm and resolute.
Modi’s mind remains calm, but his blood runs hot. He further asserted that India will respond appropriately to every terrorist attack, and Pakistan will pay a heavy price for each one.
Modi's 'Warm Vermillion' Statement and Political Implications
In his Bikaner address, PM Modi, while highlighting India's b anti-terrorism policy, stated that India will no longer remain silent; Pakistan will pay the price for every terrorist attack. In an emotive tone, he declared, "Now, it's not blood flowing in my veins, but warm vermillion." He added, "Modi's mind remains cool, but his blood runs hot."
This statement followed PM Modi's claim that India responded to the April 22nd terrorist attack in just 22 minutes, neutralizing nine terrorist bases in Pakistan.
Udit Raj's Sharp Rebuttal
Responding sharply to this statement on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), senior Congress leader Udit Raj wrote, "Did the brains of film directors, novelists, poets, and scriptwriters go for a grazing spree? Why didn't this idea occur to them? Modi ji said, 'Now, it's not blood flowing in my veins, but warm vermillion.' This single dialogue would have made the film a blockbuster."
Furthermore, in another post, Udit Raj directly targeted the Modi government, stating, "Mr. Modi, your veins only contain water; it would be better not to talk about blood and vermillion. The vermillion of our sisters could not be saved due to your government's incompetence."
Political Reactions and the Political Climate
While Modi's supporters termed the statement a display of "nationalist fervor," opposition parties labeled it emotional theatrics and an escape from reality. Following Udit Raj's tweet, sharp reactions from BJP leaders and social media users have emerged. A BJP spokesperson retorted that only those who are not serious about national security consider such statements a joke.
Political analysts believe PM Modi's statement could be a calculated strategy aimed at emphasizing "patriotism" and a "tough stance against terrorism" in the electoral climate. The counterattack by opposition leaders like Udit Raj indicates Congress's efforts to counter BJP's nationalist narrative.
