Former Congress Leader Shakeel Ahmad Launches Scathing Attack on Rahul Gandhi

Former Union Minister and ex-Congress leader Shakeel Ahmad has launched a sharp verbal attack on senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. In a public statement, Ahmad described Gandhi as “cowardly,” “insecure,” and lacking democratic leadership.

Ahmad, who quit the Congress in 2025 citing ideological differences, accused Rahul Gandhi of weakening the party through indecisive leadership and poor organisational control. He alleged that internal dissent within the party is not tolerated and that capable leaders are being sidelined.

The remarks have triggered political debate, with Congress leaders dismissing Ahmad’s comments as politically motivated. However, analysts say the statement reflects deeper fractures within the Opposition ranks ahead of upcoming elections.
