Top NDA leaders have criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his recent remarks about Gen Z. Gandhi had said young people are defenders of democracy and accuse the government of election issues.

BJP leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain said, “Rahul Gandhi is provoking the youth against the nation. This is unacceptable. The youth admire PM Modi and know the government works for them and the poor.”

Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya compared past and present governance. He said, “Those who looted the country should defend themselves. During Rajiv Gandhi’s time, 85 paise of every rupee was lost to corruption. Today, under PM Modi, even large government funds reach the people directly.”

JD(U) spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan Prasad said, “India’s youth support PM Modi’s Vision 2047. There is no anti-government wave. People care about jobs, technology, and development, not regime change.”
