In a blistering attack, Union Ministers have targeted Rahul Gandhi over the Youth Congress’s disruptive, shirtless protest at Delhi’s prestigious India AI Impact Summit. The unusual demonstration against PM Modi and an upcoming India-US trade pact has ignited a political firestorm.
G Kishan Reddy, Union Coal and Mines Minister, led the charge on social media platform X. He branded Gandhi’s tactics as misleading and demoralizing for India’s vibrant youth and startup ecosystem. ‘Rahul Gandhi’s instructions turned Congress activists into shirtless vandals, sabotaging a landmark AI event,’ Reddy fumed.
The minister emphasized the summit’s success in delivering tangible results for India’s tech future, contrasting it with Gandhi’s ‘negative campaign’ that discourages innovation. ‘No action of his ever serves India’s interests; he thrives on portraying the country negatively,’ Reddy declared, urging public awakening to Gandhi’s anti-progress stance.
Echoing this, Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar mocked Congress’s hypocrisy. At the same summit location, Telangana CM Revanth Reddy lauded Modi’s vision, yet Youth Congress indulged in ‘nonsense theatrics.’
Sanjay’s X post captured the duplicity: ‘One party, dual faces, utter shamelessness. When the tricolor soars on world stages, you don’t cheapen it with street antics. This is no opposition—it’s a national embarrassment driven by political insanity.’
The episode underscores deepening political divides as India pushes AI leadership amid global partnerships.
