During a protest at the Election Commission, Kiren Rijiju fired a volley at Rahul Gandhi, the opposition leader.
Rijiju accused the Congress of echoing anti‑India narratives promoted by foreign powers and warned that attacking constitutional bodies would damage public trust.
He said that mere birth into a prominent family no longer guarantees political power, adding that the youth’s mindset has shifted toward Prime Minister Modi’s 2047 development vision.
Rijiju urged the Congress to stop targeting the Election Commission and the Supreme Court, insisting that a focus on service, not social‑media drama, is essential to regain voter confidence.
The protest is part of the broader opposition campaign; Congress is expected to issue a response, while the government prepares to gauge the impact on the upcoming elections.
