Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the Congress party, calling it "parasitic" and accusing it of relying on alliances with other parties to contest elections. He stated that Congress has lost its national relevance and now survives only through the support of other parties in states like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand. Modi also criticized Congress for its historical treatment of marginalized communities, claiming that the party deliberately kept Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) divided to prevent their unity. He argued that Congress only granted OBC reservations when it was out of power, pointing to the lack of unity among OBCs during Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi's tenures. Modi claimed that when OBCs united in the 1990s, they became politically powerful, and Congress lost the ability to form majority governments, marking a shift in the country's political dynamics.

Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, took a subtle jab at the BJP, indirectly referencing the RSS. Speaking to the Indian diaspora in Herndon, Virginia, he criticized the ruling party's narrow view, suggesting they fail to recognize that India is meant for everyone. Gandhi emphasized India's diversity by likening it to a food plate, where different dishes like rice, pulses, and vegetables represent various traditions and histories. He argued that India's strength lies in its unity of diverse states and cultures, and criticized the BJP for treating some elements of this diversity as less important. "In India, everything works together," Gandhi said, "If someone claims rice is more important than pulses and vegetables are the least important, it reflects the BJP's approach."

Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and a Congress MP, reflects on how the Bharat Jodo Yatra changed his perspective on politics. He says the journey transformed how he thinks about his work and his connection with people. Gandhi highlights that the most surprising and impactful outcome of the Yatra was the introduction of the concept of "love" into Indian politics—a rarity in political discourse globally, where terms like hatred and corruption are more common.
