New Delhi, Sep 19: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has sparked a fresh political controversy with his scathing remarks against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, asserting that India’s Gen Z youth stand firmly against nepotism and dynastic politics.

In a social media post, Dubey directly challenged Gandhi’s praise of Gen Z, saying: “Gen Z is against nepotism and dynastic rule. Why will Gen Z tolerate Rahul ji after Nehru ji, Indira ji, Rajiv ji, Sonia ji?” He added that the youth’s opposition to corruption should compel Gandhi to step aside.

Dubey also made a provocative statement on regional politics, questioning Gandhi’s stance on neighboring countries, which has drawn criticism for its tone and perceived communal undertones.

Political analysts note that Dubey’s remarks appear to be part of a BJP strategy to appeal to young voters, positioning the party as aligned with Gen Z’s demand for transparency, ideological clarity, and accountability.

The post has sparked intense online debate, with hashtags like #GenZAgainstDynasty and #YouthForChange trending on social media. Supporters praised Dubey’s candour, while critics accused him of fear-mongering.

Observers say the episode underscores the growing role of digital-native youth in shaping political discourse, with memes, reels, and viral content amplifying the debate.

As political parties vie for the allegiance of Gen Z, both BJP and Congress are increasingly framing their narratives to appeal to young, socially conscious voters, signaling an intensifying battle for influence in India’s digital and political spaces.
