Rahul Gandhi Accuses BJP and RSS of Undermining Constitution at Nuh Rally
Nuh : At a rally in Nuh, Haryana, Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi launched a fierce critique against the BJP and its ideological ally, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), accusing them of destroying India’s Constitution. Speaking on Thursday, Gandhi alleged that the BJP is fostering division and hate across the country, while the Congress is working to unite the nation through love and inclusivity.
Highlighting the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Gandhi stated, “From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, wherever the BJP opened a ‘market of hate’, we opened a ‘shop of love’. The fight is between two ideologies—one that seeks to tear the Constitution apart and another that stands for protecting it.” He reiterated that the Congress party’s mission is to spread harmony, countering what he claims is the BJP’s strategy of promoting hatred and disunity.
Gandhi also addressed the economic concerns plaguing the state of Haryana. He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government of prioritizing the interests of billionaires over the common people. According to Gandhi, while loans for the wealthy are being waived off, struggling farmers and ordinary citizens are left in the lurch. “Young people from Haryana I met in the U.S. told me they left the country because of unemployment. They were forced to take loans to pursue opportunities abroad, as they couldn’t find jobs here,” he said, blaming the BJP-led government for Haryana’s high unemployment rate.
In a pointed attack on smaller political parties contesting in the upcoming Haryana elections, Gandhi claimed these parties were merely extensions of the BJP, referring to them as the “A, B, C, and D teams” of the ruling party. Urging voters to rally behind the Congress, he warned them not to be misled by parties pretending to be independent but actually serving the BJP’s agenda.
Haryana will go to the polls on October 5, and the results will be announced on October 8. Gandhi’s fiery rhetoric at the Nuh rally has set the tone for a high-stakes battle as the Congress seeks to unseat the BJP in the state.

Massive Market Meltdown: Sensex Dives Over 1,700 Points, Rs 11 Lakh Crore Lost
Mumbai : India’s stock market faced a significant blow as the Sensex plummeted by over 1,700 points, erasing Rs 11 lakh crore in market value. The Nifty50 also fell below 25,250, reflecting widespread losses driven by geopolitical and financial concerns.
Here are the four major factors behind this sharp downturn:
- Iran-Israel Conflict: Tensions escalated in the Middle East following Iranian missile attacks on Israel, sparking fears that oil supplies from the region could be disrupted. Investors responded by selling off equities amid the uncertainty.
- Rising Oil Prices: Crude oil prices surged, with Brent crude exceeding $75 per barrel. This increase adds pressure on India’s import bill, further straining the economy and affecting investor sentiment.
- SEBI F&O Tightening: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) introduced stricter futures and options regulations. These changes, aimed at curbing retail participation, reduced market liquidity and added to the selling pressure.
- China’s Market Resurgence: Stimulus measures in China have revitalized its stock market, attracting foreign institutional investors. This shift caused a significant outflow of funds from India, intensifying the market slide.
Key players like Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank led the losses, while oil and gas stocks were among the worst hit.
