- Targeting Amit Shah, Rahul added, "@AmitShah, bring as many police personnel as you wish—10,000, 20,000, or 40,000." Gandhi labeled Prime Minister Narendra Modi "Mogambo Modi," alleging government suppression would intensify youth anger.
- Opposition leaders argue legal guardians cannot remain silent while democratic foundations are "torn to shreds." The alliance plans to challenge the Election Commission's handling of protests and avail all available legal options.
