There is political turmoil over Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi’s statement comparing India and China. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hit back and said that Rahul Gandhi has become the head of the ‘Bharat Defamation Brigade’, that is why he continuously spreads propaganda against the country.
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala said on Wednesday (January 14, 2026) that Rahul Gandhi LoP does not mean Leader of Opposition, but ‘Leader of Propaganda’. Rahul Gandhi sometimes gives statements against the democratic system of India and sometimes against the constitutional institutions of the country.
Poonawala said, ‘Rahul Gandhi calls the Indian economy a dead economy. He gives statements against the manufacturing of the country. Today, when India’s economy has come down from 11th to fourth place and manufacturing is continuously increasing, Rahul Gandhi has again spread propaganda against India. He alleged that Congress receives donations from China, hence they promote China.

He has started programs like Tamil Sangam and actively participates in such programs. In his speeches, he constantly talks about the Tamil language and its age-old traditions. The Prime Minister says that Tamil language should be used in education including medical exams and professional exams, that is why Rahul Gandhi is facing problems, because the Congress Party government had not done all this.
