Rahul Gandhi's "Andh Bhakt" remark triggered another heated political showdown as BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla and senior journalist Sanjeev Shrivastava clashed in a high-voltage NDTV debate.
Shehzad Poonawalla argued that calling BJP supporters "Andh Bhakts" amounts to insulting millions of voters and weakens democratic discourse. Sanjeev Shrivastava countered that Rahul Gandhi was using a political idiom rather than targeting every BJP voter and accused the BJP of shifting attention away from the core issue of the anti-paper leak Bill.
