Sparks flew in New Delhi as Ramdas Athawale, Union Minister of State, tore into Congress for their protest at the AI Summit, terming it a ‘anti-national’ move that blemished India’s global face. In candid remarks to the press, he outlined the fallout from this misguided opposition tactic.
This wasn’t any event; it was a grand AI summit drawing 80-90 nations’ leaders, courtesy of PM Modi’s vision. Amid talks on tech frontiers, Congress’s demonstrations projected disarray, eroding India’s hard-earned diplomatic credibility, Athawale charged.
He singled out Rahul Gandhi for fostering party-discrediting chaos, viewing these acts as antithetical to national welfare.
Delving into Maharashtra reservations, Athawale noted Muslims’ inclusion in OBC (80% castes) per Mandal, plus EWS benefits. Supreme Court has ruled against religious quotas, aligning with state actions.
On border security, Athawale quoted Amit Shah: illegals have no place here. Fake voters face expulsion from lists and the nation. Electoral reforms target frauds like multiple entries, upholding voting purity across the board.
Warmly supporting Bharat Ratna for Ram Vilas Paswan, Athawale recalled their camaraderie. An Ambedkar champion and Bihar stalwart, Paswan’s societal impacts demand this honor; Delhi should heed the call.
Through these comments, Athawale reinforces NDA’s focus on progress, security, and justice, contrasting sharply with opposition’s disruptive playbook.
