Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju stated on Monday that India's younger generation rejects dynastic politics and has chosen Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Congress leadership. Rijiju criticized Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's recent appeals to younger voters, asserting that this demographic opposes family-controlled political parties. Gandhi had pledged support for young Indians fighting alleged electoral fraud on Sept. 18, claiming they would prove decisive in protecting democracy.
Rijiju described Indian youth as intelligent and opposed to nepotism, noting Congress operates under single-family control. He contended that Modi's administration maintains strict anti-corruption standards, with immediate expulsion for misconduct. The minister argued that younger voters support Modi's governance approach, which emphasizes integrity and accountability. Rijiju maintained that Gandhi misunderstands youth sentiment, as the generation favors transparent leadership over inherited political power.
