Rahul Gandhi's OBC remarks attacked as divisive by Sanjay Nirupam

Nirupam sharply rebuked recent statements by Rahul Gandhi, accusing the Congress leader of stoking communal and caste‑based tensions for political gain. He pointed to Gandhi's recent focus on OBC communities, questioning why the party would incite opposition to the central government when the Prime Minister himself belongs to the same social group and has launched numerous OBC welfare schemes. Nirupam warned that such tactics are being rejected by the electorate.
