In a stunning revelation, a photograph from Rahul Gandhi’s padyatra has gone viral, identifying Narasimha Yadav as one of the protesters who caused mayhem at the India AI Impact Summit. BJP leaders pounced on the image, claiming Yadav—a Youth Congress activist—stripped and shouted slogans at the prestigious event in New Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam.
The summit gathered global minds to propel India’s AI agenda forward, but the protest shifted focus to political intrigue. Amit Malviya’s X post laid bare the connection: “Planned disruption on an international forum damages India’s image and weakens our tech showcase.” He drew a clear line between acceptable dissent and national sabotage.
Pradeep Bhandari went further, branding Congress “anti-India” and pinning the orchestration on Gandhi. On-ground reports paint a vivid picture—one attendee decried the shirtless antics as unfit for an AI extravaganza shaping the nation’s destiny. A young woman eyewitness confirmed security’s prompt action post-protest.
This episode highlights the high stakes of political theater in India’s innovation drive. With social media amplifying the controversy, public discourse now grapples with whether such protests advance causes or merely politicize pivotal forums. As BJP presses its attack, the incident serves as a cautionary tale on balancing activism with national interests.
