On Friday, Union Minister Giriraj Singh launched a scathing attack on Congress MP and Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of promoting discord and trying to push India towards internal conflict.
The minister’s comments followed Gandhi’s recent social media post in which he highlighted the role of students and young people in upholding the Constitution and defending democratic values.
“Rahul Gandhi is frustrated and desperate. I have said before, he keeps imitating, sometimes copying Modi ji. He wants to become an urban Naxal. Rahul Gandhi is already acting as an urban Naxal. India will never accept an urban Naxal like him, who wants to trap the country in civil war. Sometimes he incites Muslims, sometimes he spreads nonsense, and sometimes his people say Bangladesh like violence will happen here. This is unfortunate. India’s Leader of Opposition has never been like this before. He is an urban Naxal,” the Minister stated.
BJP leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain also joined the criticism, asserting, “Rahul Gandhi is inciting the youth, students, and Gen Zs of the country. He is provoking them against the nation. This is completely unacceptable.”
“The youth of this country admire PM Modi. They know that this government works for them and for the poor,” he further added.
The dispute began following a post made by LoP Gandhi on his social media platform. Taking to X, he posted:
The Youth of the Country
The Students of the Country
The Gen Z of the Country
Will save the Constitution, protect democracy, and stop vote theft.I always stand with them.
Jai Hind!
देश के Yuva
देश के Students
देश की Gen Z
संविधान को बचाएंगे, लोकतंत्र की रक्षा करेंगे और वोट चोरी को रोकेंगे।मैं उनके साथ हमेशा खड़ा हूं।

Singh also accused Rahul Gandhi and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav of playing ‘vote bank politics’ by supporting infiltrators and illegal immigrants.
“Now they are taking away the rights of Indians, irrespective of caste. Rahul and Lalu Yadav only indulge in vote bank politics. That so-called ‘Yatra’ was nothing but an infiltration protection rally, it wasn’t called that, but that’s what it was. It was a Rohingya and infiltrators’ protection rally,” he claimed.
