Nobel Controversy in India: Rahul Gandhi in Spotlight! BJP Blasts Congress

The BJP criticized Congress over an apparent suggestion linking Rahul Gandhi to a Nobel Peace Prize after Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado won the 2025 award. Congress leader Surendra Rajput praised Gandhi’s constitutional fight in India, prompting BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla to call the idea “bizarre,” sarcastically listing Gandhi’s failures. Machado was recognized for defending democracy in Venezuela despite threats. Meanwhile, the Congress and the INDIA bloc claim Gandhi’s efforts target alleged dictatorship, rising unemployment, economic setbacks, and suppression of minority and civil rights in India.
