Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused the Congress party of tarnishing India's image. He took a jab at Rahul Gandhi and called the Congress party “parasitic.”
Modi attacks Rahul Gandhi and Congress
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress Party on Thursday (October 22, 2026). He accused the Congress party of damaging India's international standing and seeking foreign interference in the country's affairs. He said the opposition party was endangering national interests by repeatedly attempting to establish its leader, Rahul Gandhi.
Addressing a private TV channel program, PM Modi said that while countries around the world are seeking a new global order, some in India are hoping to create chaos within the country. He said that instead of downplaying its achievements, the country should showcase its strength and stability internationally.
They go abroad and defame India: PM Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "When the whole world is looking for a new order, some people are dreaming of chaos in India. Today, when there is so much chaos in the world, a strong image of India should be presented to the world, but these people are only interested in tarnishing the country's reputation. These people go abroad and defame India. They ask foreigners to interfere."
A simple target without naming Rahul Gandhi
Without naming Rahul Gandhi, the Prime Minister questioned how long the Congress party would continue its efforts to establish its leader. He mocked the party's political strategy, likening it to repeated attempts to launch its own leader. He quipped, "I don't know how long the Congress party will continue to risk the country to launch its failed product. Even Sriharikota doesn't have as many launches as the Congress does in a year."
PM calls Congress a parasite.
PM Modi called the Congress party a parasite, accusing it of hindering the growth of other political parties and organizations. He said the party's reaction to losing power reflected resentment and a desire to undermine the very system in which it had failed to gain public support.
