During a press event in Indore, BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari warned that while questioning is a democratic right, debates on the economy, development and digital payments must be grounded in facts, targeting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari addressed reporters in Indore on Thursday, directing his remarks at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He asserted that the right to question the government is a cornerstone of Indian democracy, but emphasized that discussions on critical issues such as the economy, development programmes and digital payment systems should be based on verifiable data.
Bhandari added that the opposition often resorts to theatrics, likening their attempts to “showcasing themselves as comedians” rather than presenting substantive policy alternatives. He urged political parties to move beyond slogans and engage in fact‑driven debates that can benefit the nation.
The comments came amid ongoing political rallies across the country, with both the BJP and Congress gearing up for the upcoming general elections. No immediate response was recorded from the Congress office regarding Bhandari's statements.
