NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday criticised the Congress party over the seating arrangement for its president Mallikarjun Kharge during a prayer session in Ahmedabad's Sabarmati Ashram.
Amit Malviya, in-charge of the BJP’s national IT department, shared a video from the Congress event and questioned the decision to place Kharge in a separate chair.
“If a separate chair had to be placed for Kharge ji, why was it not placed in the centre? He is the party president and also an elderly person,�?Malviya said in a post.

The video is from a special prayer session organised by the Congress on the eve of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) session. The AICC is holding its 84th National Convention in Ahmedabad on April 8�?. This is the first time in 64 years that the AICC event is being held in Gujarat.

The meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the top decision-making body of the party, was held at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Memorial in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. The main AICC session is currently underway at the Sabarmati Riverfront today.
