Nishikant Dubey hit out at Rahul Gandhi on Thursday after the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha celebrated Gen Z as defenders of democracy and the Constitution.
In a blistering response to Gandhi’s X post, wherein he positioned himself as a supporter of youth-led change, Dubey mentioned that Gen Z stands firmly against family politics, corruption, and ideological ambiguity.

“Gen Z is against nepotism and dynastic rule. Why will Gen Z tolerate Rahul ji after Nehru ji, Indira ji, Rajiv ji, Sonia ji?” Nishikant Dubey asked in the post.
“It is against corruption, why won’t they drive you away?” he asked.
They (Gen Z) want to make Bangladesh an Islamic nation and Nepal a Hindu nation, why won’t they make India a Hindu nation? You should prepare to leave the country, they are coming,” the BJP MP added.
In an X post, Rahul Gandhi had asserted that the Gen Z of India will play a decisive role in safeguarding the Constitution and protecting democracy, as pledged to stand by them in their fight against alleged “vote theft.”
Sharing his picture, Rahul Gandhi posted on X, “The youth of the country, the students of the country, the Gen Z of the country will save the Constitution, protect democracy, and stop vote theft. I always stand with them. Jai Hind!”

This came hours after Rahul Gandhi made fresh allegations of an attempt at vote theft in Karnataka’s Aland constituency.
Addressing a press conference, he claimed that there was an attempt to delete more than 6,000 voters’ names from the constituency.
The Election Commission, however, dubbed the charges as “incorrect and baseless” and asserted that no deletion of votes can happen without giving an opportunity to be heard to the affected person.
The BJP said Gandhi’s repeated charges against constitutional institutions showed his and the Congress’s lack of faith in Indian democracy.
Mounting another frontal attack against the Election Commission, Gandhi said the poll panel must stop protecting “vote chors” and provide, within a week, information sought by the Karnataka CID in an investigation into voter deletions.
If not, it will be known for sure that it is complicit in the “murder of the Constitution”, Gandhi alleged at a press conference at the Congress’s Indira Bhawan headquarters in New Delhi.
