The remarks triggered strong reactions from the BJP, which accused the Samajwadi Party of insulting Hindus and said voters would respond in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh elections. The controversy has intensified the war of words between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party ahead of key political contests in the state.
