Overview
- Congress MP Manish Tewari posted on X that “ENTITLEMENT IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE TO GEN X, Y, Z,” citing leadership crises in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and protests in the Philippines.
- Amit Malviya of the BJP IT cell tied the comment to Rahul Gandhi, calling him the “ultimate Nepo Kid” and claiming discontent within Congress.
- Tewari replied that critics should “grow up,” insisted he named no one, and urged attention to South and East Asian trends rather than reducing the issue to party point-scoring.
- India Today and News18 report that Tewari warned these regional shifts could carry national security implications that warrant careful analysis.
- BJP MP Nishikant Dubey accused Rahul Gandhi of trying to provoke youth as Gandhi recently praised Gen Z and students for defending the Constitution and stopping alleged “vote chori.”
