Rahul Gandhi’s reply to Elon Musk’s tweet today exposes two things that define Rahul Gandhi’s and the Congress ecosystem’s politics. Nothing exposes them better than this one tweet.
First, when discussions were going on last year about Starlink’s possible entry into India, the Congress party opposed it, alleging that this was being done to support businessmen close to Prime Minister Modi. They even brought in the national security angle to oppose Starlink’s entry.
And now, the same Rahul Gandhi has made a complete U-turn and is pushing for Starlink’s entry into India. He has not only reversed his party’s stand from a few months ago, but has also conveniently forgotten the national security arguments his own party had raised then.
This shows that Rahul Gandhi’s opposition is simply for the sake of opposition. When they thought the Modi government was supporting Starlink, they opposed it. Now, when they think the government is opposing it, they are supporting Starlink.
They can sway whichever way they want, as long as it is to oppose Modi. Principles, consistency and even national security can be conveniently forgotten.
Second, look at what has happened today and how history has parallels to this.
Rahul Gandhi is supporting a foreign businessman because he believes Indian businessmen are close to the Prime Minister. He seems willing to welcome a foreign businessman to challenge Indian businesses simply because he believes those businesses support Modi.
This reminds us of Jaichand. There are many such examples in Indian history where our own people sided with foreign interests to further their individual political ambitions. Every time, such choices cost the nation dearly. These divisions and betrayals contributed to centuries of foreign domination and subjugation.
Rahul Gandhi seems determined to replay the same textbook.
But this time, the consequences could extend beyond political hegemony to technological and economic dependence as well.
And for what? Just to oppose Modi?
Will you oppose India just to oppose Modi, Mr. Rahul Gandhi?
It is unfortunate that we have a Leader of Opposition like you, Mr. Rahul Gandhi.

Instead of providing a replacement/refund for a un working product, Flipkart support is asking me to visit a service centre for a brand-new product 🤦♂️

A new study from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has revealed that insectivorous birds found in the understorey of the Eastern Himalayas are under threat due to habitat degradation.

आसन नहीं बिहार के लिए यह डगर, जहां हर वर्ष 50% जिलों में बाढ़ आती हो।
भारी बारिश के बाद कोसी, महानंदा और अन्य नदियों के उफान से बिहार में बाढ़ जैसी स्थिति।

Our two relatives were attacked by goons in Bela, Samastipur, PS: karpuri Gram in the morning.
They are admitted to Sadar hospital.
Police haven't reached yet.
Please take action immediately.
like heatwaves and floods—are intensifying due to fossil fuel reliance.
💡 The Path Forward: India is expanding renewables (solar, wind, hydro) to meet its 500 GW clean energy target by 2030.
