Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who boasts about the Constitution's values, seems to be forgetting about his leadership and commitment to the nation's core values. This comes as he appears to be distancing himself from significant events. For e.g. Republic Day event, Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, occurring once every 144 years, the ongoing campaign of Delhi's Assembly elections.
Republic Day Parade 2025: Disrespecting National Pride
The Republic Day Parade is a celebration of India's democracy, military valor, and the sacrifices of its soldiers. Yet, this year, Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge chose to stay away, an absence that has been interpreted as a disregard for the democratic values and respect for the armed forces. This has led many to question their commitment to national pride and values. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on the ground visiting flood-hit areas and meeting with victims and soldiers, Rahul Gandhi was enjoying a foreign vacation. His absence during such a critical national crisis has raised serious doubts about his leadership qualities and his sense of national responsibility.\
The Maha Kumbh, a symbol of India's rich cultural heritage and the world's largest spiritual gathering, witnessed significant participation from BJP leaders, who not only honored the event but also celebrated the essence of Indian culture on a global platform. The entire Yogi cabinet took a holy dip in the sangam at Prayagraj, so did the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other heavyweights of the party. In fact, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Draupadi Murmu, Vide President Jagdeep Dhankar are also supposed to come to the Mahakumbh in the days to come. In contrast, Rahul Gandhi chose to completely ignore the occasion, reflecting his apparent indifference towards India's cultural and spiritual heritage. Despite his claims of being a "janeudhari Brahmin," he has distanced himself from major cultural events like Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri, further revealing his lack of connection to the spiritual and cultural traditions of India.
Rahul Gandhi's repeated absences from key national events are no mere coincidence, they form a consistent pattern that raises alarms about his commitment to the nation, its culture and democratic values. As Delhi heads into election, Congress appeared initially poised for a strong contest, but as the campaign progresses, the absence of key leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, is weakening their efforts. Questions are now being asked: Where is Rahul Gandhi? Why is he missing from the Kumbh, the Republic Day celebrations, and the electoral battle in Delhi?
As Congress' campaign weakens and its leadership falters, one crucial question looms large: Can a leader, who consistently distances himself from India's soul, its values, and its most sacred traditions, ever truly lead this nation?
