Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent remark suggesting that the Congress party associates Muslims with repairing punctures has ignited significant backlash from opposition leaders.

Janata Dal (United) [JD(U)] chief and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's party is also in acute internal crisis after its backing to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025.

Passionate debate on Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, introduced by Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju in the Indian Parliament was seen. The bill proposes radical changes in Waqf property administration, including non-Muslim members in Waqf boards and granting powers to district collectors to decide property disputes.
