Rahul Gandhi during his speech at the inauguration of the Congress party’s new headquarters in Delhi said that he and his party are not just fighting the BJP and the RSS politically but are fighting the Indian state itself.
“I would like to say one last thing. Do not think that we’re fighting a fair fight. There is not fairness in this. If you believe, that we’re fighting a political organization called the BJP, that we’re fighting a political organization called the RSS, you’ve not understood what is going on. The BJP and the RSS have captured every single institution of our country. We’re now fighting the BJP, RSS and the Indian state itself.”, Rahul Gandhi said.

This is not the first time that Rahul Gandhi has made such treasonous remarks.
Speaking during a press conference in Tamil Nadu as part of his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ in September 2022, Gandhi declared, “We are no longer fighting a political party. It is now a battle between the structure of the Indian state and the opposition.”
Gandhi accused the BJP of monopolizing the country’s institutions, alleging that it has placed loyalists in key positions to exert influence and control. “The BJP has taken over all institutions—CBI, ED, Income Tax Department—and uses them to pressure opponents. The fight used to be against a political party; now, it’s against the very machinery of the state,” he stated.
In August 2022, following Enforcement Directorate (ED) actions against him in the National Herald money laundering case, he accused the government of undermining democracy, stifling dissent, and misusing institutions. He also alleged that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) had infiltrated key democratic structures, framing the Congress as battling against systemic oppression.
While speaking at ‘The Conclave 2023’ organised by Pratidin Media Network in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi had said that he and his party are fighting against the Indian Sate.
“Go and ask any businessman in India what happens to them if they support an opposition party. If they were to write a cheque for any opposition party, ask them what happens to them. We are not fighting now a political party, we are fighting the Indian state…”, Rahul Gandhi said.
