Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is bone of contention and it is a phrase meaning “a main subject/topic of an argument or disagreement; point at issue, matter in question”
Example Sentence: The Congress party is in turmoil even as it plans to elect a new president and organise a Bharat Jodo Yatra across the country… The choice was Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. Mr. Gehlot is a trusted loyalist of the party and the family, and he would not say no the wishes of the Gandhis. But he would want to continue as the Chief Minister also, which may become a bone of contention.
This phrase is present in The Hindu article The bulldozer goes global, three questions before the Gandhi family, and more and click here to read it.
