The BJP trained its guns on the Congress party over a tweet by Global Times, a Chinese state-affiliated media organisation, and alleged that the "love" between the dragon and the opposition party cannot be hidden.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra alleged that "Ishq" (love) and "mushk" (fragrance) between the two is evident and can't be hidden. He also raked up the issue of the MoU between Chinese Communist Party and the Congress inked earlier and demanded to know its contents of it. This sudden attack came after Global Times alleged, Congress is "waiting for a chance to shake" BJP rule in India.
