BJP leaders said Richa Parashar was injured and hospitalized after Gandhi allegedly shoved her while she was covering an opposition protest.
- On Tuesday, the Bharatiya Janata Party alleged that Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi manhandled a pregnant journalist during an opposition protest on Monday, injuring her severely enough to require hospitalization.

- After visiting the hospitalized journalist Richa Parashar, BJP MLA Umang Bajaj stated that "it is the duty of a public representative to answer a journalist's questions rather than manhandling them."
- Bhandari criticized Congress leadership, referencing Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's slogan "Ladki Hoon, Lad Sakti Hoon," and questioned their silence on a JNU professor case involving eleven girls.
- Urging youth to prioritize actions over rhetoric, Bajaj emphasized that the incident contradicted Gandhi's claims, as the BJP maintains pressure on the opposition amid ongoing political tensions over electoral irregularities.
