Kharge made the remark while extending festive greetings over the weekend. BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari accused Congress of vote bank politics, while Gaurav Bhatia asked on X why Diwali cannot simply be called by its own name.
Tuhin Sinha claimed Congress wants every Hindu festival marked as an Eid, which he said would mean celebrating Eid 10 to 12 times a year.
