A major political row has erupted after former Vice President of India Hamid Ansari cited remarks attributed to Jawaharlal Nehru regarding Hindu right-wing communalism during the A.J. Noorani Memorial Lecture in New Delhi. Quoting historical observations documented by Foreign Secretary Gundevia, Ansari stated that the greater danger to India was Hindu right-wing communalism rather than communism, while also warning of challenges to civic nationalism. The Bharatiya Janata Party launched a sharp counter-attack against Ansari and the Congress party, calling the remarks unfortunate, accusing the opposition of spreading anti-Hindu propaganda, and demanding an apology.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a sharp critique against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi regarding his conduct during the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' Indore event. Speaking in Greater Noida, Adityanath stated that the behavior displayed at the event was an insult to womanhood and accused Gandhi of spreading confusion and anarchy in society. Highlighting traditional Indian values, he remarked that civilized society practices respect by prioritizing elders and women, referencing ancient cultural principles of honoring women. Adityanath questioned the conduct of those who mock elders and women on public stages, stating the country should not expect adherence to core cultural values like 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' from such individuals. Reporter Ashish Shrivastava noted that BJP leaders have strongly objected to the stage mimicry and remarks, arguing that the youth are being misguided under the guise of student events.

A major political controversy erupted following Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatro Ki Goonj' event in Indore, where stand-up comedian Pulkit Mani performed a satirical mimicry of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The act mocked an incident where the Prime Minister asked for a chair for an elderly woman. The BJP strongly criticized the Congress, calling the performance shameful, disgusting, and an insult to mothers, alleging Rahul Gandhi has stooped to a new low. The BJP also highlighted earlier instances where Congress targeted Prime Minister Modi. Meanwhile, the Congress defended its leader and the comedy act amid the escalating political war of words.

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad registered a decisive victory in the Delhi University Students' Union elections, winning three out of the four central panel positions. The BJP student wing bagged the posts of president, secretary, and joint secretary, while the vice president post went to an independent candidate. The Congress-backed National Students' Union of India suffered a complete rout, failing to secure a single seat on the central panel despite early counting leads. The election outcome reflects the resonance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's youth-centric outreach and engagement with Gen Z voters following recent student protests across the national capital.
