Nishikant Dubey Targets Rahul Gandhi, Says Gen Z Rejects Dynasty and Corruption

GG News Bureau

New Delhi, 19th Sept: Parliamentarian Nishikant Dubey (BJP) ignited a storm on social media on Friday with a scathing response to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s recent praise of Gen Z. In a sharply worded post, Dubey accused Gandhi of misrepresenting the aspirations of India’s youth, claiming that Gen Z firmly opposes nepotism, corruption, and ideological ambiguity.

“Gen Z is against nepotism and dynastic rule. Why will Gen Z tolerate Rahul ji after Nehru ji, Indira ji, Rajiv ji, Sonia ji? It is against corruption, why won’t they drive you away?” Dubey wrote, directly attacking the Gandhi-Nehru political legacy.

The remarks came in response to Gandhi’s earlier post celebrating Gen Z as defenders of democracy and the constitution. While Rahul Gandhi projected himself as a supporter of youth-led change, Dubey countered with a narrative portraying Gen Z as disillusioned with dynastic politics and eager for ideological clarity.

In a controversial twist, Dubey further added: “He wants to make Bangladesh an Islamic nation and Nepal a Hindu nation, why won’t he make India a Hindu nation? You should prepare to leave the country, he is coming.”

The statement, widely criticised for its communal undertones, triggered sharp reactions across the political spectrum. Critics accused Dubey of resorting to divisive rhetoric, while his supporters praised him for speaking bluntly about youth discontent.

Political observers suggest Dubey’s remarks reflect a broader BJP strategy to strengthen nationalist sentiment among young voters. By framing Gen Z as ideologically assertive and intolerant of corruption, Dubey seeks to align them with the BJP’s vision of governance and cultural identity.

The post immediately set off heated online debates. Hashtags such as #GenZAgainstDynasty and #YouthForChange began trending, highlighting the emotional resonance of the exchange. Supporters echoed Dubey’s views, while detractors accused the BJP MP of fear-mongering and polarisation.

Analysts point out that India’s Gen Z, as digital natives, is not just consuming political discourse but actively shaping it through memes, reels, and viral commentary. Their influence in electoral politics is steadily growing, making them a decisive demographic in the years ahead.

Whether Dubey’s message resonates with young voters or alienates moderate voices remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the battle for Gen Z’s political allegiance is intensifying, and both sides are leaving no stone unturned.
