Chalavadi Narayanaswamy didn’t stop there. He dragged in a village proverb, joked about Rahul’s unmarried status, and even tied it to the release year of Mera Naam Joker. The outrage? Immediate. Congress hasn’t responded yet; but social media and political watchers are already calling it a new low. Personal attacks in politics aren’t new, but this one crossed a line by mixing family, marriage, and cinema into a political insult. What’s worrying isn’t just the remark; but how casually it was made. And worse, how normalised such language is becoming. Is political discourse in India now just a stage for personal roast battles? The real question: when does ‘opposition’ stop being about policy, and start being about punching below the belt?
