Rahul Gandhi's 'Copy-Paste' Chhath Wish? BJP Mocks Recycled 2024 Greeting

A political controversy has erupted over Chhath Puja greetings from Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, with the BJP's Amit Malviya pointing out that his social media post for 2025 is identical to his post from 2024. BJP National Spokesperson R.P. Singh stated, 'Rahul Gandhi only does things for photo ops or for rituals. He is not concerned about Indian culture or Indian ethos.' The BJP has labeled the greeting as 'half-hearted' and mere 'formality', questioning the Congress leader's sincerity towards Hindu festivals. This war of words intensifies as Chhath is a major festival in Bihar, where assembly elections are set to begin on November 6. The BJP is leveraging the incident to reinforce its accusations of appeasement politics against the Congress and its allies in the state.
