BJP’s vocal spokesperson Sambit Patra dropped a bombshell on Friday, proclaiming that India’s Gen Z has issued a lifetime ban on forgiving Congress following their Youth wing’s outrageous disruption at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi.
What was meant to be a celebration of India’s AI leadership—attended by top global figures—descended into farce as Youth Congress activists stripped to the waist, bellowed ‘PM is Compromised’ chants, and sowed confusion at Bharat Mandapam.
Patra branded the party ‘topless, brainless, shameless,’ arguing the protest ridiculed India’s startup revolution and youth talent at a critical juncture. ‘Global leaders were here praising our progress; Congress spat on that moment,’ he charged.
Invoking history, Patra likened the fiasco to Nehru’s snake charmer debacle, which long haunted India’s international image. ‘This is their new ploy to sabotage our modern tech narrative.’
Swift action by security forces neutralized the threat, bundling protesters away and allowing the event to proceed. Patra decried Congress’s pattern of undermining national wins while soft-pedaling on adversaries like Pakistan.
The backlash has been seismic, especially among digital natives who see the stunt as a desperate, tone-deaf bid for attention. As India cements its AI dominance, Gen Z’s rejection signals a generational pivot away from Congress’s antics toward visionary leadership.
