On Sunday, Union Minister Piyush Goyal accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other opposition parties of engaging in a 'major conspiracy' to destabilize India. He alleged that their rhetoric is a calculated attempt to incite violence across the country after failing to challenge the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) electorally. Goyal described Gandhi's statements as part of a serious plot to spread anarchy, stating that the opposition's frustration stems from their inability to remove Prime Minister Narendra Modi from public favor. He further condemned the Congress for allegedly undermining India's sovereignty by appealing to foreign powers for intervention in domestic matters.

Goyal expressed confidence that the Indian public is aware of the opposition's intentions and will thwart their plans. His comments were made in response to Gandhi's support for protests regarding the NEET UG paper leak, which Gandhi claims has negatively impacted many students. Gandhi criticized the BJP government for its handling of the situation, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and calling for accountability in the education system.
