Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, criticising his underwater puja in the ancient submerged city of Dwarka. During a farmers' meeting in Nashik, Gandhi highlighted pressing issues like inflation and unemployment, accusing them of being overlooked in media coverage dominated by Modi's activities.

He mocked Modi's underwater puja and highlighted his visits to the China border and discussions on Pakistan, while important socio-economic concerns remain sidelined. Earlier in February, PM Modi's underwater puja in Dwarka drew attention. It is believed that Dwarka city submerged into the sea centuries ago after Lord Krishna departed from Earth.
