Political fireworks lit up New Delhi as BJP spokesperson Shah Nawaz Hussain took aim at Mani Shankar Aiyar’s endorsement of Mamata Banerjee for INDIA bloc leadership. In a candid IANS interview, Hussain mocked the idea, labeling the alliance a ‘corpse’ Aiyar wants to revive. ‘Step up as leader yourself—you’re overqualified,’ he advised with irony.
Aiyar’s pedigree shone in Hussain’s retort: ex-diplomat, parliamentary stalwart. ‘Better than Banerjee by miles. Appoint him INDIA chief; we’re advocating since others overlook him. Time for debate.’ Dismantling the bloc’s myth, Hussain noted its post-poll demise—no structure, no head, fully cremated.
Turning to JNU unrest, he slammed Marxist student radicals for violent rampages. ‘Slogans escalate to beatings; ABVP victims demand Delhi Police intervention.’ On Afghanistan’s draconian women’s law, Hussain’s outrage peaked: ‘Taliban permits bone-breaking brutality on females—retaliate similarly to break their resolve.’
Defending PM Modi’s Congress broadside over AI summit controversies, Hussain clarified the PM’s fury arose from national dishonor. ‘Congress’s deceitful campaigns have backfired spectacularly, exposing their true colors,’ he signed off, urging voters to see through opposition ploys.
