‘Where Was Congress for 70 Years?': BJP Hits Back at Rahul's OBC Admission
In yesterday's event, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi admitted that the party had fallen short in addressing the aspirations of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) over the years. He acknowledged that while Congress focused on issues concerning Dalits, Adivasis, and women, it failed to adequately understand or respond to the challenges faced by OBC communities. Rahul further stated that this gap allowed the BJP to gain political ground among backward classes. He urged party leaders to ensure Congress becomes more inclusive and responsive to all communities going forward.#rahulgandhi #congressparty #obc #dalitrights #adivasiissues #womenempowerment #backwardclasses #socialjustice #indianpolitics #bjpvscongress #politicalnews #rahulspeech #india2025

‘Insult Of Dalits…': BJP Slams Congress For Comparing Rahul Gandhi With Ambedkar
Last Updated: A political clash erupted as BJP accused Congress of insulting Ambedkar and Dalits after Udit Raj compared Rahul Gandhi to Dr BR Ambedkar. A political slugfest broke out between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress on Saturday over grand-old-party leader Udit Raj's remark comparing Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to Dr BR Ambedkar. The BJP said the such remarks are an insult of Dalits as well as of the social reformer. What Udit Raj Said? The Congress leader, inspired by Rahul Gandhi's yesterday address at the Bhagidari Nyay Sammelan, claimed that the latter will prove to be the "second Ambedkar" for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) if they listen to what he said during the address. He further said that the OBCs must support the statements made by the Lok Sabha LoP. In a post on X on Saturday, Raj said, 'OBCs (Other Backward Classes) will have to think that history does not give opportunities for progress again and again. They should follow and support what Rahul Gandhi said at the Talkatora Stadium conference. If they do so, then Rahul Gandhi will prove to be the second Ambedkar for them." ओबीसी को सोचना पड़ेगा इतिहास बार बार प्रगति के लिए मौका नहीं देता । ताल कटोरा स्टेडियम के सम्मेलन में जो बात राहुल गांधी ने कही उस पर चल पड़ें और साथ दें । अगर ऐसा करते हैं तो इनके लिए राहुल गांधी दूसरा अंबेडकर साबित होंगे ।— Dr. Udit Raj (@Dr_Uditraj) July 26, 2025 Following Udit Raj's post, the BJP traded barbs at the grand-old-party for allegedly insulting Babasaheb Ambedkar. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya accused the Congress of hatching a conspiracy to diminish Ambedkar's legacy. 'Congress is now worried about finding another Ambedkar. But the country knows how Congress betrayed Dr Ambedkar and repeatedly insulted him, which is recorded in history, " Malviya said. कांग्रेस को अब दूसरा आंबेडकर खोजने की चिंता है।लेकिन देश जानता है कि कांग्रेस ने डॉ. आंबेडकर के साथ कैसे विश्वासघात किया और बार-बार उनका अपमान किया, ये इतिहास में दर्ज है।सवाल ये है — कांग्रेस दूसरा नेहरू क्यों नहीं खोज रही?क्योंकि ये प्रयास डॉ. आंबेडकर की विरासत और महानता को… — Amit Malviya (@amitmalviya) July 26, 2025 He further took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi and said that he can 'never become anything, except a historic failure. The question is — why isn't Congress searching for another Nehru? Because this effort is a conspiracy to diminish Dr Ambedkar's legacy and greatness, And as for Rahul Gandhi — he can never become anything, except a historic failure," he added. BJP Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said the Congress was talking about a second BR Ambedkar when it never respected the 'original" one. 'Insulting Dalits and BR Ambedkar has become the Congress' identity… Who insulted the 'original" Ambedkar? Who did not bestow the Bharat Ratna on him? Who did not let his Constitution be implemented in Jammu and Kashmir? Who spoke about Muslim reservation? Who said reservation is bad… Jawaharlal Nehru," Poonawalla said. What Rahul Gandhi Said? On Friday, Rahul Gandhi acknowledged that not conducting a caste census during the UPA government was a mistake, and said he was determined to correct it. While speaking at the ' Bhagidari Nyay Sammelan ' of OBC at Talkatora Stadium in Delhi, he said that he failed to understand the issues of the OBCs earlier, unlike those of Dalits, tribals, and women, where he claimed the Congress had done commendable work. 'I think about my work, where I did well and where I fell short, and I see two to three things. Land Acquisition Bill, MNREGA, Right to Food, Tribal Bill, and Niyamgiri struggle — all these things I did well. As far as the issues of tribals, Dalits, and women are concerned, I should get good marks there. I did good work," he said.

Suvendu Adhikari claims 1.25 cr illegal voters in Bengal, TMC dares proof
Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Saturday claimed that there are 1.25 crore illegal immigrants in the voters' list of West Bengal, and all of them will be sent back following a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the rolls. Addressing a programme in Tamluk in Purba Medinipur district, Adhikari maintained that Hindus who migrated due to religious persecution need not be worried about the exercise. "If around 50 lakh names were excluded in Bihar, Bengal could have as many as 1.25 crore such names. All Bangladeshis and Rohingyas in West Bengal will be pushed back after the SIR," he said. "No one will be able to save the chief minister this time. All the looting and corruption will come to an end. The instances of false voting will reduce. Those who used to cast false votes will be weeded out," he added. Adhikari "warned" government officers to act with integrity, and said district-level officers who fail to do so will be in trouble. The ruling TMC rejected his comments as communal rhetoric, "aimed at polarising voters ahead of elections". "Can he genuinely identify such a massive number? Has Suvendu Adhikari ever seen a Rohingya or knows what language they speak?" TMC spokesperson Debangshu Bhattacharya asked, challenging the BJP to submit the list of 1.25 crore illegal immigrants to the EC. He claimed the SIR was aimed at removing supporters of opposition parties from the voters' list. "This impacts both Hindus and Muslims. In Bihar, many Yadavs who vote for RJD are being struck off the rolls. Now they want to try the same in Bengal, but it won't work," he said. "Bengalis, both Hindu and Muslim, are united by their language and identity," he added.
