Rahul Gandhi's ‘traitor' remark on PM Modi, Amit Shah triggers row; Yogi Adityanath seeks apology
The BJP demanded a public apology after Rahul Gandhi’s remarks sparked a political row over alleged attacks on the Constitution and India’s economic system.
- On Wednesday, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi branded Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh as "traitors" during an event in his Raebareli Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh.
- Gandhi accused the government of selling "India's economic system" and attacking the Constitution. The Bharatiya Janata Party responded by demanding an immediate public apology, with party president Nitin Nabin asserting the remarks reflected an "anarchic mindset."
- Union Minister Giriraj Singh termed the remarks "frustration born of power," while Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized Gandhi as a "Yuvraj" driven by negative politics and electoral defeats.
- Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister questioned the BJP's "uproar," alleging the ruling party has frequently labeled critics "traitor" and "turncoat" since 2014 without facing similar backlash.
- The clash reflects deeper ideological divisions: Gandhi accuses the government of undermining constitutional safeguards, while the BJP maintains its leadership has secured national borders and adopted zero tolerance toward terrorism.
