BJP leader Rohan Gupta unleashed a fierce broadside against Telangana’s Congress government from Ahmedabad on February 19. The controversy? Permitting Muslim staff to exit work by 4 PM during Ramadan—a move Gupta branded as textbook appeasement.
‘This is Congress’s go-to playbook in states they control,’ he charged, emphasizing that religion-based favoritism contradicts constitutional norms. Gupta probed deeper: With no mention of religious quotas in the Constitution, why repeat these discriminatory decisions?
He argued that true progress for any community comes from development, not token gestures. ‘Appeasement harms the nation and erodes secular foundations,’ Gupta added.
Turning to the opposition alliance, Gupta ridiculed the INDIA bloc’s power grabs, dubbing it a ‘thieves’ coalition.’ Citing public rejection of past such experiments, he praised voters’ preference for substantive growth agendas.
In contrast, Gupta lauded PM Modi’s welfare schemes as genuinely inclusive and Constitution-compliant. Public faith remains rock-solid, fueling a development-first ethos.
The spotlight also fell on Delhi’s mega India AI Summit, drawing international luminaries, thousands of students, and displays across key sectors. Covering vast exhibition space with global participation, it underscores India’s tech prowess.
Gupta lamented opposition attempts to politicize such proud moments, appealing for unity in celebrating national achievements over divisive rhetoric.
