BJP chief Nitin Nabin attacks Rahul Gandhi over ‘infiltrators’ remark
BJP national president Nitin Nabin on Wednesday, 7 October 2026, accused Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi of fighting for ‘ghuspaithiyas’ (infiltrators) whose names were removed from electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Speaking at the conclusion of a motorcycle yatra in Varanasi, part of the BJP’s Seva Sankalp campaign marking 25 years of Narendra Modi’s public life, Nabin said the people of the country would give a befitting reply to Gandhi’s ‘anarchist mindset’.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also addressed the event. Adityanath said mafia syndicates had been dismantled and law and order improved under Modi’s leadership. Sarma said Gandhi could not harm Modi as long as ‘the power of Sanatan’ existed in India, and that the BJP would remain in power in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Assam for the next 50 years.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources provide straight reporting of the Varanasi event, with identical quotes from Nabin, Adityanath and Sarma. The New Indian Express leads with the ‘anarchy’ charge, while The Indian Express foregrounds the ‘ghuspaithiyas’ framing. Neither outlet adds analysis or challenges the claims. The uniform coverage leaves the BJP’s internal celebration of Modi’s 25-year milestone and its attacks on the opposition as the sole narrative. No date for a next step is mentioned, the event itself is the conclusion of the yatra.
