Political temperatures soared in the national capital Saturday when BJP supporters besieged the Congress headquarters. The fiery protest responded to Youth Congress’s boisterous disruption at Bharat Mandapam’s India AI Impact Summit, a landmark for India’s tech future.
Delhi BJP president Virender Sachdeva spearheaded the planned march from Mansingh Road, decrying the ‘thuggery’ that overshadowed global deliberations. His Friday announcement rallied workers against what he termed an assault on national pride.
Protest spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor told reporters of the enthusiastic BJP gathering. ‘This summit heralds prosperity—crores in gains, jobs galore. Rahul Gandhi’s tantrums expose his frustration; India rejects it outright,’ he charged.
Earlier, Sachdeva exposed the 10 ‘shirtless’ detainees as paid mercenaries, not Congress loyalists. With youth innovating under Modi’s guidance and India surging in AI, the interference was a national shame. Congress’s international mudslinging compounds the felony.
MP Manoj Tiwari’s presence added decibels, his ‘traitor’ cries against Rahul resonating loudly. Karnataka Minister Prahlad Joshi called for Congress remorse, while UP’s Anil Rajbhar blasted the impropriety before 20 nations’ dignitaries.
The episode reveals stark ideological battlelines. BJP champions progress; opponents seem bent on derailment. Yet, India’s AI trajectory promises resilience amid the political storm.
