Rahul Gandhi's Tadipaar Jibe, Congress Monkey Protest Spark Political Slugfest
In India, two big political groups are having a big argument.
One group is called the Congress party, and the other is called the BJP.
A leader from Congress, Rahul Gandhi, attacked the BJP with some sharp words.
He used the jibes 'Tadipaar,' 'Bhag Gaya,' and 'Joker.'
Congress also protested by using the phrase 'monkey business.'
These words started a fresh political fight between the two parties.
Some people think this fighting is just a normal part of politics.
Other people worry that the leaders are being too mean and that their talk has become too low.
A news show called India Upfront hosted a debate about whether this is real politics or just provocation.
The show asked whether political discussion in India has reached a new low.
