Breaking ranks with the controversial remarks made by Jharkhand minister Irfan Ansari, Political Analyst Sanjay Jha called the statements "outrageous" and said they deserve condemnation. However, Jha also accused the BJP of double standards, citing past remarks by BJP leaders against the Supreme Court and Chief Justice. Defending Rahul Gandhi's campaign as a constitutional movement focused on protecting voting rights, Jha argued that protests over electoral issues are about strengthening democracy, not.
