Tensions flared at India’s high-profile AI Summit as Congress workers’ protests sparked a major political row. Law enforcement is proceeding as per protocol, but the rhetoric from BJP-Shiv Sena leaders has reached a boiling point. Shrikant Shinde, Maharashtra MP and son of Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, has directly called out Rahul Gandhi’s leadership credentials.
In an explosive X post, Shinde stated Rahul has irrefutably demonstrated his incompetence in steering the Congress and is equally unqualified for the Leader of Opposition role. Drawing from Mark Twain, he noted, ‘Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society,’ underscoring the opposition’s empty posturing.
PM Modi’s visionary AI Summit brought together global innovators, investors, and dignitaries to celebrate India’s tech and economic momentum. Instead of engaging constructively, Congress workers chose embarrassing disruptions, squandering a golden opportunity to project national pride.
Modi’s era has cemented India’s reputation as a digital frontrunner and economic powerhouse, empowering it to lead world stages with confidence. This exemplifies authentic governance. In stark contrast, the opposition favors uproar over policy input and spectacles over strategies.
Democracy demands a robust, accountable opposition, but credibility is conspicuously absent. India’s unstoppable progress commands global attention. Theatrics cannot tarnish the leadership forging its path to global innovation leadership. Here’s hoping the primary opposition adopts maturity, honesty, and unwavering devotion to Bharat.
