It is said that he used such language on the last day of campaigning for the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, in the context of AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) joining the BJP alliance.

“I did not call him a terrorist”: MP Kharge

After facing criticism for his statement, Kharge issued a clarification, saying, “I did not call him a ‘terrorist.’ I said that he (Prime Minister Modi) frightens people. I intended to speak in the context of intimidation. I want to clarify that Modi always intimidates. I have explained in sequence that the Income Tax Department, the Enforcement Directorate—these institutions are all under his control. I never called him a terrorist. He is instilling fear among people.”
