Congress activists’ disruption at the AI Summit has ignited a fierce political debate in New Delhi. With police acting decisively, Maharashtra leader Shrikant Shinde has launched a scathing critique of Rahul Gandhi, questioning his very ability to helm the Congress or oppose the government effectively.
Shinde’s X post cut deep: Rahul Gandhi’s actions confirm he’s unfit to run his party and utterly unprepared for Leader of Opposition duties. Citing Mark Twain, ‘Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society,’ he portrayed Congress as devoid of real impact.
At a time when PM Modi hosted an elite global AI summit—drawing innovators, investors, and leaders to affirm India’s tech dominance—Congress prioritized petty protests. Such moves humiliate the nation amid chances to amplify its international standing.
Under Modi’s command, India has emerged as a confident digital leader and economic behemoth, masterfully staging global events. That’s leadership in action. The opposition, however, substitutes ideas with cacophony and solutions with stunts.
A serious opposition fortifies democracy; what’s on display is a credibility vacuum. The globe eyes India’s relentless rise. No drama diminishes the stewardship catapulting it to innovation epicenter status. Shinde called on Congress to embrace prudence, truthfulness, and profound national loyalty.
