Rahul Gandhi’s Nepal Remark: A Generational Divide?

Rahul Gandhi’s recent allusion to Nepal has ignited discussions about his ability to resonate with younger voters, particularly Gen Z. This comes as the Congress leader continues to grapple with the party’s historical baggage.

For years, the Congress party has faced scrutiny over corruption allegations, particularly during the UPA I and UPA II administrations. These accusations, coupled with criticisms of the party’s dynastic structure, continue to present hurdles for Gandhi’s political aspirations.
