Congress leader Rahul Gandhi heavily criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy, mocking it as merely being centered on "hugging" world leaders. Addressing a recent convention, he accused the ruling government of lacking a true understanding of the nation. Gandhi further targeted the RSS, calling them a "bunch of jokers" and asserting that their original ideological force is dead. He claimed the organization has become completely corporatized, acting primarily as an instrument to serve large capitalists.
