On December 14, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized Congress for focusing on vote bank politics. He referred to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s statement, "Ek Vote Se Harna Pasand Kiya," which means he preferred losing by one vote rather than compromising on principles. Modi’s remark highlighted how Congress prioritizes political gains over values. However, he did not directly comment on other political parties. This statement reflects Modi's concern that Congress and some other parties use identity-based politics to gain votes, rather than focusing on the development and welfare of the country and its people.
