Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has dubbed Prime Minister Narendra Modi a 'tadipaar' (deportee) and called Home Minister Amit Shah 'Bhag Gaya' and 'Joker' in a series of attacks. Separately, Congress workers protested outside the BJP headquarters with a 'monkey' placard, mocking Amit Shah. The rhetoric has triggered a fresh political slugfest. Times Now reports that opponents accuse the Congress of lowering debate standards. The BJP has not yet responded officially.
