Gehlot Blasts BJP as Gandhis Detained in NEET Protest

Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot seized on the incident to launch a sharp critique of the ruling party, alleging that the government has systematically abandoned democratic norms. According to Gehlot, the administration’s refusal to engage with opposition concerns is fueling deep-seated national discontent.

The standoff near the Prime Minister’s residence underscores a growing friction between the government and the opposition over transparency. As the NEET controversy continues to mobilize protesters, Gehlot argued that the current path threatens the country's foundational values, framing the detention of the Congress leaders as a symptom of a broader disregard for political dissent.
