The Lok Sabha witnessed a dramatic escalation in political rhetoric as BJP MP Kangana Ranaut took direct aim at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on India’s economy. Speaking during a debate, Ranaut accused the Congress of mismanaging banks and pushing them into crisis, while crediting the Modi government for reducing NPAs and strengthening the financial system. Her remark that Rahul Gandhi should be given “tuition” triggered sharp reactions and highlighted the growing intensity of political discourse. The episode underlines how economic issues are increasingly being framed through political narratives rather than just policy discussions. With elections approaching, both BJP and Congress are doubling down on their messaging. For viewers, this is more than just a war of words—it is a reflection of how economic performance is being debated, contested, and weaponised in India’s political arena.
