New Delhi : Congress leader Manish Tewari’s recent remarks on the growing public rejection of entitlement in South and East Asia have triggered a fresh political controversy, with the BJP linking his statements to an indirect attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Commenting on these developments, he wrote, “ENTITLEMENT IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE TO GEN X, Y, Z,” pointing to the growing resistance against dynastic politics and public outrage fueled by social media trends.
The BJP quickly seized upon Tewari’s statements, linking them to Rahul Gandhi, whom the party described as the “ultimate Nepo Kid of Indian politics”. Amit Malviya, head of the BJP IT cell, took to X to assert, “Forget Gen Z, even Congress’s own veterans are fed up with his regressive politics. The revolt is now from within!” Tewari dismissed the linkage, saying, “Gosh, I just wish that some people would grow up in life.” He clarified that the discussion should not be reduced to a political slugfest between Congress and BJP, emphasising instead the broader developments in South and East Asia.
The furore comes against the backdrop of Rahul Gandhi’s recent social media post lauding India’s Gen Z and students for defending the Constitution and preventing alleged “vote chori”. The timing of Gandhi’s post was notable, coming just days after youth-led protests in Nepal toppled the KP Sharma Oli-led government. The BJP accused Gandhi of attempting to provoke similar unrest in India, warning that the country’s youth stood firmly against dynastic politics and corruption.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, a vocal critic of Gandhi, said, “Gen Z is against dynastic politics. Why would they tolerate Rahul after Nehru, Indira, Rajiv and Sonia? They are against corruption – why won’t they drive you out?”
