Overview
- BJP leaders Amit Malviya and Sambit Patra shared a clip of Rahul Gandhi saying "kar diya kaam Youth Congress walon ne," arguing it shows his role in the February 20 disruption at Bharat Mandapam.
- Patra called Gandhi the protest’s "architect" and said the Congress action was a planned bid to embarrass India at an international technology forum.
- Malviya invoked a Nehru‑era Holkar succession episode to question the Congress on national identity, using the historical reference to intensify the attack.
- Gandhi has praised the Youth Congress workers as "lion‑hearted" and framed the protest as opposition to a proposed India–US trade framework he says harms farmers, textiles, and data security.
- Legally, multiple IYC members have been arrested in the case handled by the Crime Branch, and Patiala House Court has reserved orders on bail pleas for Divyansh Girdhar, Bhudev Sharma, and Kuber Meena.
