Cabinet minister Udai Pratap Singh said Rahul Gandhi’s political approach is three decades outdated, commenting on his recent Balaghat visit.
Madhya Pradesh cabinet minister Udai Pratap Singh publicly criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after the latter’s recent visit to Balaghat district. Singh asserted that Gandhi’s style of politics appears to be about thirty years old, suggesting that the strategies being employed belong to a much earlier era.
He specifically noted that Gandhi, now 57, is pursuing political tactics that would be more appropriate for a 26‑year‑old, implying a disconnect between the leader’s age and his approach. The minister’s remarks were made in the context of a broader political debate in the state, where the ruling BJP frequently challenges the opposition’s relevance.
No immediate response from Rahul Gandhi or his party was reported at the time of the statement. Singh’s comments add to the ongoing partisan rhetoric ahead of future electoral contests in Madhya Pradesh.
