A new political controversy has erupted after Congress leader Supriya Shrinate made a sharp and sarcastic remark on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Italy and the viral “Melody” toffee moment with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
In her statement, Shrinate mocked the interaction, suggesting that PM Modi, at 75, may be displaying a “fatherly affection” towards younger global leaders like Meloni. She linked the comment to the widely circulated video in which the Prime Minister presented a “Melody” toffee pack to the Italian PM during their official engagement.
The remark has quickly triggered political reactions, with BJP leaders condemning the comment as inappropriate and disrespectful, while opposition voices remain divided over the diplomatic optics of the viral moment.
The “Melody” exchange, which gained massive traction on social media, has already become a political talking point, with supporters calling it a light-hearted diplomatic gesture and critics arguing it was unnecessary showmanship during an official visit.
The debate continues to intensify online, adding a new layer to the ongoing political sparring between the ruling party and the opposition over foreign visits and public optics.
