Responding to the issue, Congress Party’s National President Mallikarjun Kharge accused the Modi government of paralyzing the accounts of India’s largest opposition party, the Indian National Congress, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. He strongly criticized this as a major attack on Indian democracy, accusing the BJP of using unconstitutionally collected funds for elections. In contrast, he stated that the funds raised by their party through crowdfunding would be used for the welfare of the people.

He appealed to the judiciary to save the multiparty system and protect the future of elections in the country, stating that if Modi continues, there might not be elections in the future. Kharge declared that they would fight against Modi’s autocratic rule to protect Indian democracy nationwide.
