In Jharkhand's political landscape, Ghodda MP Nishikant Dubey has ignited a new controversy by referring to Rahul Gandhi as an 'idiot' during a media interaction while campaigning for urban body elections in Dumka. This comment has intensified political discussions, leading to increased tensions in political corridors following Dubey's bold attack on the Congress party's operations and inquiries into its leaders.

During his campaign, Dubey questioned the working style of the Congress party, asserting that while the BJP is merely revealing the truth, it is not specifically targeting any one individual. He backed his stance by referencing the history of suspensions in Parliament, claiming that since 1963, the Congress has suspended numerous MPs, thereby alleging a hypocrisy in Congress's accusations against the BJP.

Dubey further criticized historical choices made by past leaders, particularly former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, stating that decisions made during Nehru's time—such as the recognition of Tibet—have led to long-term consequences, including China's position as India's neighbor today. His remarks have contributed to an already charged political atmosphere in Jharkhand, bringing the focus once again on the rivalry between the BJP and Congress ahead of elections.
