The Story in Brief
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, speaking at the Ratchnatmak Congress convention, said he and his party would 'drive them crazy' until Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah resign. He mocked the RSS as a 'bunch of jokers' and claimed Modi cannot sleep at night because India is now expressing itself against the RSS-BJP order. Gandhi also criticised Modi's foreign policy, saying he thought hugging world leaders was diplomacy. The Times of India reports that Gandhi illustrated his point by bear-hugging a party colleague. Indiatvnews.com adds that the BJP hit back, calling Gandhi's remarks 'uncouth and obscene'.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides have turned a political strategy session into a slugfest of personal attacks. Rahul Gandhi's 'bunch of jokers' jibe at the RSS and his bear-hug mimicry may energise his base, but it drowns out any substantive critique of policy. The BJP's furious response, calling the remarks obscene, avoids answering why students and Parliament disruption have rattled them. The real test is whether either party can shift from schoolyard taunts to the issues that matter: jobs, prices, and the next election.
