Union Minister J.P.
Nadda on Sunday (November 1, 2026) slammed the Opposition INDIA bloc’s rally as a “foolish and designed drama” and said it will prove to be the final “nail in the coffin” of Congress’ “political downfall”.
In an apparent reference to the anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Mr.
Nadda claimed that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s objective behind organising it on Sunday was to rub salt into the wounds of “Sikh brothers”.
On this very day, goons patronised by Congress massacred our innocent Sikh brothers. Thousands and lakhs of Sikh families became homeless overnight. Mr. “Rahul Gandhi, listen carefully. You cannot escape answering for the tears of Delhi’s traders,” Mr.
“The day of November 1 is the ugliest and darkest blot on India’s democratic history. You cannot hide the dark history of November 1.
“Removing the democratically elected government by conspiring to spread riots and anarchy in Delhi, adversely impacting the earnings of shopkeepers and traders in Delhi during the festive season and defaming the country are other objectives of the rally,” the senior BJP leader told reporters. Nadda said India is a strong democracy and will not be run by riot-based politics, but by the Constitution and the mandate of the people. Nadda said, adding, “Your rally will prove to be the final nail in the coffin of Congress’ political downfall.”
