BJP National Spokesperson Shazia Ilmi launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing its leadership of hypocrisy and electoral malpractice. Addressing the media, Ilmi said, “The Congress party, which calls itself a 'Mohabbat ki dukaan,' is in reality nothing but a market of false promises and deception. Congress party CWC member and media head Pawan Khera was found to have two EPIC cards. Now, his wife, Kota Nilima, who was a candidate in Telangana in 2023, has also been found to possess two EPIC cards.”

She further added, “Congress Party CWC member Pawan Khera holds two EPIC cards, and his wife, Kota Neelima, who was a candidate in the 2023 elections from the 60 Khairatabad Assembly constituency in Telangana, also has two EPIC cards. Although it is not unusual, in 1980, Sonia Gandhi, despite being an Italian citizen, was enrolled in the electoral list… They are vote dacoits. Rahul Gandhi blames the general public of India, but remains silent when it comes to his own core team.”
