The Story in Brief
Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy as overly focused on hugging leaders, at the Rachnatmak Congress convention in New Delhi. To illustrate, he hugged Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit and joked, 'I haven't reached that stage yet,' when asked if he was mistaking him for Italian PM Giorgia Meloni.
Gandhi also questioned India's response to the West Asia conflict, saying Pakistan became the mediator while India 'looked on.' He alleged China blocked Indian patrols in Arunachal, claiming he gets information from 'Modi ji's office.' Separately, Mathrubhumi reports Gandhi called the BJP-RSS a 'bunch of jokers' and accused them of serving corporate interests like those of Adani and Ambani.
The Indian Opinion
Rahul Gandhi's stage hug and 'jokers' jibe are standard opposition theatre, but they avoid a harder question: what would a Congress government do differently in West Asia or Arunachal? His claim of a 'full-blown revolt' inside the PMO is a serious allegation that demands evidence, not laughter. Until Gandhi details a concrete alternative, on Pakistan's mediator role or China border standoff, his critique stays personal, not strategic. The test will come when he tables a parliamentary resolution on the Arunachal patrol issue.
