Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Nabin on Wednesday (September 9, 2026) targeted Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over his “ Chhatron ki Goonj ” programme series, claiming that its impact would not extend beyond his party workers.
Nabin in response to a question at a press conference.
“Those who are trying to misdirect the voices of children…if there had been strength in their own voices, when they had the opportunity, they would have done something for the youth of this country,” said Mr.
Nabin said the government bolstered the country’s cultural identity through various projects; encouraged self-reliance across sectors; and launched major youth employment-oriented initiatives. So, I do not believe that the impact of their ‘Goonj’ will extend beyond their own party workers. The youth of the country and the general public are with Modi ji . Attacking the Congress over its recent decision to sing only two stanzas of Vande Mataram at party events, Mr. Modi began his public-service career as Gujarat Chief Minister. Mr. Mr. Gandhi, who is on a two-day visit to Raebareli, attended the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) meeting at the Collectorate along with the Congress’ Amethi MP Kishori Lal Sharma and other elected representatives and officials to review implementation of Central government schemes. The PMGSY executive engineer assured at the meeting that the roads would be repaired. He also stressed that roads constructed by different agencies should be clearly identified and records maintained showing which agency was responsible for each road. After the meeting, Mr. Gandhi left the Collectorate without speaking to reporters.
This year, October 7 will mark 25 years since Mr. Listing the achievements of the Modi government, the BJP chief said 25 crore poor families were lifted out of poverty; 80 crore people provided ration; over 100 crore connected to social security schemes; 200 crore free COVID vaccines administered; houses given to over four crore poor people, etc.
Nabin described the party as having an “anarchic” and “anti-national” mindset. Nabin said the party was therefore holding a month-long “Seva Sankalp Abhiyan” from September 17 to October 17. The campaign’s purpose was to take to every person the changes brought by him during this period, ranging from good governance and welfare schemes, to strengthening the resolve of “Viksit Bharat 2047”, he said. The country’s international standing increased; the internal and external security was strengthened, and strong steps taken to eliminate Naxalism, he said. Emphasis was being given to “women-led development” and securing women’s rights. Earlier reporting noted: A nominated member of the DISHA committee, Umesh Bahadur Singh alias Bablu Singh, said, “Gandhi placed photographs of damaged PMGSY roads before the officials and also named specific roads while seeking action. Earlier reporting noted: “The road issue was raised after Gandhi examined the condition of roads in the district and presented photographic evidence during the meeting, rather than merely seeking information from officials,” Mr. Singh said.
Earlier reporting noted: Mr. He said: “Under the leadership of Narendra Modi, today’s youth is moving forward by becoming self-reliant.
