Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, asserting that the Lok Sabha leader of the opposition was worried that he “might be expelled from Parliament” following the protests during the recently concluded India AI Impact Summit.
The Godda MP alleged that the Rae Bareli MP was frustrated over a substantive motion in Parliament and questioned the Congress’s stance on national issues.
Speaking to ANI, the BJP leader said, “Whatever Rahul Gandhi is doing nowadays is because of frustration due to the substantive motion that we have given. He is worried that he might be expelled from Parliament…”
Condemning the Congress over its ‘shirtless’ protest during the recently concluded India AI Impact Summit 2026, Dubey said the success of a summit led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and claimed it outperformed France in participation and outcomes.
“The summit was led by the Prime Minister, and it was more successful than France. From Sundar Pichai to Sam Altman, everyone came. But what did you do? So when our meeting started today, a senior member of the BJP said that first, there should be a discussion on this. The resolution, which was passed, praised the PM and the 200 billion investment that Google has committed. We condemned the people who created the uproar at the summit. This is not the first time this has happened,” Dubey added.
Referring to the Commonwealth Games, he said, “In the Commonwealth Games, the BJP was protesting against the corruption. But we all went to participate in the Commonwealth Games. When it was over, after that we protested. BJP knows how to keep the country’s issues in the country, how to deal with foreigners, and how to deal with people of the world. Jawaharlal Nehru handed over our own territory to China.”
Earlier today, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Communications and IT condemned the “shirtless” protest at Bharat Mandapam.
