Kiren Rijiju Criticises Rahul Gandhi and Congress Over Election Commission Protest
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the party for their protest march to the Election Commission, accusing them of repeatedly targeting constitutional institutions like the Election Commission and Supreme Court. Rijiju described the protests as a "daily drama" that would not strengthen democracy or help Congress regain public support. He urged Rahul Gandhi to focus on public service and take inspiration from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP workers. The opposition protested over concerns about electoral rolls and election-related issues but were stopped by police from meeting the poll panel.
