New Delhi erupted in political heat as BJP senior leader RP Singh drew a sharp parallel between Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Umar Khalid, the accused in the 2020 Delhi riots. Speaking exclusively, Singh declared that both share the same ‘DNA’ and mindset, aimed at tarnishing India’s global image.
Recalling the 2020 chaos, Singh pointed out how Umar Khalid allegedly timed protests to coincide with then-US President Donald Trump’s visit, sparking riots that embarrassed the nation. Fast forward to recent events, Singh accused Rahul Gandhi of orchestrating demonstrations precisely when leaders from 20 countries gathered for the AI Summit. ‘Why not Jantar Mantar or BJP offices?’ he questioned, underscoring the intent to maximize international embarrassment.
Singh didn’t mince words: ‘Their thinking aligns perfectly. Both chose venues that spotlighted India negatively on the world stage.’ He contrasted this with India’s steadfast ally Israel, which stood by the nation during crises, providing advanced technology when needed most. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s diplomacy has strengthened this bond, Singh praised.
Celebrating Modi’s milestone as the first world leader to surpass 100 million Instagram followers, Singh hailed it as proof of the PM’s unparalleled popularity. On the Shimla clash between Delhi and Himachal police over Youth Congress arrests, he dismissed it as standard procedure: ‘Courts will handle it; the guilty must face action.’
In a broader swipe, Singh lambasted Rahul Gandhi’s politics as devoid of facts or logic, fueled by abuses, conspiracies, and pandering to foreign masters. ‘For us, nation first,’ he asserted, crediting this ethos for India’s strides in self-reliance, security, growth, and global stature.
