Rahul Gandhi's 'H-Bomb' Warning Ignites Fiery Political Battle with BJP's 'Antenna' Jibe

The political landscape in Bihar has been set ablaze by a dramatic exchange between Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). During a fervent election rally in Begusarai, Gandhi issued a stark warning, likening the alleged attempts by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to amend the Constitution and abolish reservations to an 'H-bomb' that would devastate Indian society.

His remarks have swiftly escalated the already charged rhetoric ahead of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.

Gandhi vehemently asserted that if the BJP-led government secures a two-thirds majority, their primary objective would be to dismantle the Constitution. He claimed this move is specifically designed to eliminate reservations for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes, a social welfare measure he considers vital.

"If a two-thirds majority is achieved, their first task will be to tear apart the Constitution, end reservations, and dismantle everything," Gandhi declared to the crowd, emphasizing the gravity of his 'H-bomb' analogy. He further alleged that the BJP aims to privatize public sector undertakings and hand over India's assets to a select few industrialists, effectively abolishing reservation in the process.

The fiery accusation did not go unanswered.

Senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad swiftly retorted, dismissing Gandhi's statement as yet another "daily dose of absurdity" from the Congress scion. Prasad, a vocal critic of Gandhi, ridiculed his claims, suggesting that Gandhi's 'antenna' appears to be constantly picking up signals from "anti-India forces" that feed him such preposterous narratives.

"Rahul Gandhi's antenna only catches signals from anti-India forces," Prasad scoffed, adding that Gandhi is increasingly becoming a "joke" in Indian politics.

Prasad staunchly defended the BJP and Prime Minister Modi, asserting their deep respect for the Constitution and their unwavering commitment to the welfare of the backward classes.

He reiterated that the Modi government has consistently worked towards the upliftment of OBCs, highlighting the appointment of an OBC Prime Minister as a testament to their dedication. Prasad further accused Gandhi of disrespecting the architects of the Constitution, including Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, by making such "baseless" and "irresponsible" statements.

This latest skirmish comes on the heels of Gandhi's earlier "X-Ray" remark regarding the Agniveer scheme, where he promised an "X-ray" of the scheme if the INDIA bloc comes to power, implying a thorough review and potential overhaul.

The BJP had also strongly condemned that statement, accusing Gandhi of creating confusion and demoralizing the armed forces.

The ongoing political slugfest underscores the high stakes of the Lok Sabha elections, with both major political camps trading heavy blows and deploying strong language to sway voters.

As the campaign intensifies, such sharp exchanges are becoming a common feature, shaping the national narrative and setting the tone for the electoral battle in key states like Bihar.
