Mohan Yadav Says Nehru-Gandhi Family ‘Put Politics Above Nation’, Hits Back at Rahul Gandhi

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the Nehru-Gandhi family, alleging that they have historically placed political interests above national priorities. His remarks came in response to statements made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at a farmers’ rally in Bhopal on February 24.

Rahul Gandhi’s Allegation

Addressing farmers in Bhopal, Rahul Gandhi had alleged that the Modi government approved a recent trade agreement under external pressure. He questioned the government’s intent and suggested that the deal may not serve the interests of Indian farmers and small businesses.

Gandhi claimed that the Centre should have taken a more transparent approach and engaged stakeholders before finalizing such agreements.

CM’s Counterattack

Reacting strongly, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav accused the Nehru-Gandhi family of repeatedly prioritizing political narratives over national interest. He said that such allegations undermine India’s global standing and mislead citizens about policy decisions.

Yadav asserted that the current government’s trade and economic policies are designed to strengthen India’s economy and benefit farmers through better market access and export opportunities.

Political Escalation

The exchange has intensified political rhetoric in the state, especially as Madhya Pradesh remains a key battleground for both the BJP and the Congress. Political observers note that economic issues, including trade agreements and agricultural reforms, are likely to dominate campaign discourse.

The BJP has defended the Centre’s decision-making process, stating that all trade deals undergo detailed evaluation and are aimed at safeguarding national interests.

Ongoing Debate

The controversy highlights the broader political debate over trade policy and its impact on farmers. While the Congress has raised concerns over transparency and external influence, the BJP maintains that its decisions are rooted in economic strategy and long-term national growth.

With both sides digging in, the issue is expected to feature prominently in upcoming political engagements across the state.
