Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has released a video on Tuesday (January 20, 2026) on the death of software engineer Yuvraj Mehta due to drowning along with his car in a tragic accident in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. In the video, Rahul Gandhi said that the problem is not only corruption, but also the addiction of greed spreading in the society, which has swallowed the accountability of Indian governance.
He said, ‘A culture of greed and disrespect towards other living beings is being promoted in India. Due to this all limits have been broken. The water we are forced to drink and the crumbling infrastructure we see around us are the results of this greed. Yuvraj Mehta’s death is a direct result of this culture.
Our response will decide what kind of society we want – Rahul Gandhi
The Congress MP said, ‘How we react to people’s death, pain and suffering will decide what kind of society we want. We need to understand that the result of treating others badly is that you will end up being treated badly.
