In the wake of the recent youth-led upheavals in Nepal and Bangladesh, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s statement on social media has ignited a political storm in India. Gandhi, criticizing the Election Commission and alleging electoral fraud, posted a message in support of the country’s youth, asserting that they would protect the Constitution and democracy. His statement, claiming the youth would defend democracy, has drawn sharp reactions from the BJP, which accuses him of attempting to instigate chaos and anarchy in India. The BJP questions whether Gandhi is pushing for a civil war, drawing parallels to the violent protests in Nepal. The BJP further suggested that Gandhi is encouraging youth unrest to undermine the government’s authority. On the other hand, opposition leaders have rallied behind Gandhi, supporting his call for democratic reforms. The controversy highlights the deepening political divide in the country, with questions arising over the role of the youth in the nation’s political future and whether Gandhi’s remarks are fueling further instability.
