Nadda Calls INDIA Bloc Rally 'Foolish Drama,' Predicts Congress Downfall
· India · The Hindu, NDTV, Hindustan Times
Union Minister J.P. Nadda on Sunday, November 1, 2026, criticised the Opposition INDIA bloc's "Chalo Dilli" protest rally in New Delhi as a "foolish and designed drama." He stated that the protest would be the "final nail in the coffin" of the Congress party's political future. Nadda alleged the rally was a conspiracy to surrender democracy to anarchy and disorder. He also claimed that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi organised the protest on November 1 to "rub salt into the wounds of Sikh brothers," referencing the 1984 anti-Sikh riots anniversary. The BJP leader further accused the Opposition of aiming to spread riots, impact Delhi traders during the festive season, and defame the country.
Why it matters
Nadda's strong criticism highlights the escalating political rhetoric between the ruling BJP and the Opposition INDIA bloc. Such statements could further polarise public opinion ahead of future elections and impact the Congress party's standing.
