During a BJP training program in Ghaziabad, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, former Union Minister and prominent BJP leader, launched a fierce critique of the Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP), predicting they would suffer significant setbacks in the upcoming 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. He characterized the Congress as a 'lobby of defeated politicians' and accused it of engaging in 'gutter-level politics'. Naqvi pointed to the recent electoral defeats of the opposition in West Bengal and Assam as evidence of their declining influence, asserting that their attempts at political maneuvering are futile. He claimed that the internal conflicts within the opposition alliance are evident and that their efforts to 'steal votes' will not save them from political oblivion. Naqvi further criticized the Congress's dynastic politics, stating that it has been rejected by the electorate, as seen in previous elections. He concluded by praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for providing stable governance during global challenges, reinforcing the BJP's position ahead of the elections.
