Tensions flared at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi when Youth Congress members protested, prompting a barrage of criticism from Bihar’s ruling alliance leaders. Deputy CM Vijay Sinha didn’t mince words: the Congress of today bears no resemblance to Mahatma Gandhi’s vision, corrupted by foreign influences that reject patriotism.
Held in the national capital, the event drew crowds from across India and presidents from various nations, amplifying the fallout from the disruption. Bihar’s Dilip Jaiswal pointed to internal Congress rifts, with veterans shunning Rahul Gandhi’s leadership. ‘They’re Nehruvians or Indira Gandhi followers, but Rahul’s approach screams anti-nation,’ he alleged.
Sanjay Singh decried the timing, with global media watching. ‘Trying to humiliate India before the world was shameful,’ he stated. Raj Bhushan Choudhary warned of security threats from immigrants misusing national assets.
JD(U)’s Rajiv Ranjan Prasad saw it as a botched ploy, revealing Congress’s desperation and harming its image. BJP’s Tarun Chugh accused the Youth Congress of toolkit-driven anti-India sloganeering, calling it akin to sedition when the world applauds India’s AI prowess.
RP Singh likened it to Umar Khalid’s Trump-era protests aimed at global defamation. ‘Rahul Gandhi’s tours with party agitators follow this script repeatedly,’ he said, framing it as a deliberate conspiracy.
This episode at a high-profile tech conclave highlights Congress’s aggressive tactics amid BJP’s narrative of national ascendance. Critics argue the protests not only failed strategically but also exposed ideological fractures, as India strides forward in innovation.
