NDA Leaders from Bihar Condemn Youth Congress Protest at AI Summit
Senior leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar have issued strong condemnations following a protest staged by the Indian Youth Congress at the AI Impact Summit in Delhi on Friday. The leaders have accused the Congress party and its prominent figure, Rahul Gandhi, of engaging in actions detrimental to the country's interests under the guise of opposing Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Ravi Shankar Prasad: Congress Exposed Anti-India Mentality
Former Union Minister and Patna Saheb MP, Ravi Shankar Prasad, expressed his disapproval of the incident, clarifying that the summit was organized by the Indian government, not the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). "The world recognizes India as an emerging global leader in artificial intelligence, yet Congress has employed a disgraceful tactic to defame the nation on an international stage," Prasad stated. He emphasized that the 'anti-India mentality' of the Congress has been revealed once again, and he believes the public will respond appropriately to those who compromise the country's prestige.
Sanjay Kumar Jha Criticizes Desperation and Lack of Seriousness
JD(U) working president and MP, Sanjay Kumar Jha, described the protest as a "shameless spectacle" that reflects desperation and a complete absence of seriousness. "Such theatrical displays may attract attention, but they only highlight the intellectual bankruptcy of individuals who confuse disruption with legitimate dissent," Jha remarked. He asserted that these reckless efforts to diminish India's stature on a global platform will not hinder the nation's progress, which is driven by innovation, confidence, and conviction rather than noisy, aimless stunts designed for media coverage.
Chirag Paswan and Vijay Kumar Sinha on Negative Politics
Union Minister and LJP(RV) chief, Chirag Paswan, noted that while the international community applauds India's growing global role, digital revolution, and technological advancements, Rahul Gandhi and the Congress have once again demonstrated negative politics. Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha added that the AI summit symbolizes the country's technological capabilities, startup ecosystem, and youth talent, but Congress has insulted these achievements through their actions.
BJP Leaders Escalate Allegations
BJP state president, Sanjay Saraogi, alleged that the demonstration was orchestrated at the behest of Rahul Gandhi. BJP spokesperson, Neeraj Kumar, escalated the accusations by stating, "Congress has transformed into an anti-national party by opposing Modi ji. Their leader, Rahul Gandhi, has fallen prey to foreign agents; he is an agent of George Soros. Whenever an opportunity arises, he attempts to tarnish India's image on international forums."
The reactions from NDA leaders underscore a deepening political rift, with the incident at the AI Impact Summit becoming a focal point for allegations of anti-India behavior and negative politicking against the Congress party and its leadership.
