JP Nadda Accuses Rahul Gandhi of Selective Politics on Paper Leaks

July 22, 2026

Union minister JP Nadda accused Rahul Gandhi of selective politics on paper leak issues and listed cases in opposition ruled states.

Union minister JP Nadda asked Rahul Gandhi in a Wednesday evening press conference why he does not discuss paper leak cases during UPA and INDIA alliance governments.

Nadda mentioned leaks in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Punjab, Kerala and Karnataka where Congress or opposition parties are in power.

He said this is not the time to divide governments but to find solutions and the government is ready for detailed parliamentary discussion.

Initial reactions on X focus on JP Nadda's press conference accusing Rahul Gandhi of selective outrage on paper leaks, citing incidents in opposition-ruled states and urging parliamentary debate over protests. Posts from news outlets share video clips with quotes emphasizing political mileage versus student welfare, showing neutral reporting with some supportive tones for the BJP stance.

Paper leaks have occurred in several Congress-ruled states, but why is Rahul Gandhi being selective? His objective is not student welfare or improving the quality of education, but gaining political mileage, said JP Nadda in the press briefing.
