The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched an attack on the Congress party following controversial comments made by Mani Shankar Aiyar about former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s academic performance. Aiyar, a former confidante of Rajiv Gandhi, implied that his association with the Gandhi family influenced his political trajectory despite his academic setbacks. The BJP seized on Aiyar’s remarks to question the leadership credentials of the Congress party. This development has sparked a fresh round of political debate in India.
