Pune’s political air crackled as BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla eviscerated Congress, evolving from ‘shirtless’ to ‘brainless’ after Youth Congress’s provocative stunt at the AI Summit. His remarks cut deep into the party’s leadership and tactics.
At the core: Rahul Gandhi, whom Poonawalla dubbed history’s top deceiver. ‘Master of hate and lies—Rafale scams, Savarkar smears, RSS distortions—each falsehood lands him in court for a dressing-down,’ he said. This propaganda leadership role, he contended, is self-inflicted through relentless deceit.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra faced equal scrutiny for the duo’s Northeast hostility. Rejecting a ceremonial Gamosa at the President’s event and the viral footage of her allegedly flinging Assam’s traditional scarf underscore a pattern of disdain, Poonawalla claimed, alienating key demographics.
The AI Summit disruption—shirtless Youth Congress members attempting to derail proceedings—epitomized the rot. ‘Characterless, tasteless, shameless, pointless, brainless: that’s modern Congress, not the Indian National Congress of old,’ Poonawalla asserted. Party backing, including lofty comparisons to Gandhi and Bhagat Singh, exposes Rahul’s direct hand, he alleged.
In closing, Poonawalla portrayed this as Congress’s anti-national pivot, sabotaging India’s tech showcase and begging for electoral reckoning through such tasteless theatrics.
