Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, calling him “immature” and asserting that no one can become a leader by undermining India abroad. Rijiju also expressed confidence that the Mahayuti alliance, consisting of the BJP, Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar-led NCP, would comfortably win the November 20 Maharashtra polls, dismissing Congress-led opposition narratives.
