In a sharp rebuttal, Rajasthan's Minister of State Jawahar Singh Bedham criticized Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for his recent comments on Indian democracy, accusing him of tarnishing India's image internationally. Labelled as the Congress 'crown prince,' Gandhi's remarks have sparked significant backlash from opposition Bharatiya Janata Party leaders.

Senior BJP figure Ravi Shankar Prasad accused Gandhi of politically motivated allegations while on foreign soil, asserting that India's democratic fabric remains intact. Prasad, a former Union Minister, emphasized that Gandhi's claims, made in Colombia, were driven by a personal ambition for power.

These remarks have fueled further political discourse on the global stage.
