Mr. Rijiju has been taking on Mr. Gandhi and other Congress leaders for demanding an open debate with the Prime Minister. He also asked the Congress leader to respect seniors and gain valuable wisdom from the elders, which is Indian tradition.
The senior BJP leader further advised Mr. Gandhi not to meet "anti-India people and stop promoting their agenda." As the fourth condition, the Minister asked Mr. Gandhi to "end deep hatred against BJP, RSS and Modi Ji" and "treat BJP as political opponent, not enemy." Earlier in the day, Mr.
Rijiju had posted a video clip of his speech in Parliament when the Opposition leaders had walked out of the house. "Parliament is the House for debates & discussion. But people who don't believe in democracy, debates and discussion are talking about debate," the Parliamentary Affairs Minister said.
Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday (November 4, 2026) dared Prime Minister Modi once again to debate him openly and said he guaranteed that it would be proved in five minutes that the PM was a traitor, inviting a sharp response from Union finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
After Mr. Gandhi's challenge, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the Prime Minister should come forward and face the questions on "vote theft" that the nation was posing. "PM Modi is parroting his flop line of Dimaagi Naxal'!
He has NO answer on Vote Chori and the Open Challenge by Rahul Gandhi to discuss how he mortgaged Indian interests to Foreign powers!" Mr. Kharge said. Mr. Rijiju hit back in a post on X, saying, "Kharge Ji, Dimaagi Naxal is a term, not a narrative.
Only following are Dimaagi Naxals: Who support Maoists agenda, and reject Indian Constitution. Who stand with the separatists & support Article 370. Who want to stop the development projects of India. Who conspire to cut chicken neck to separate North-East from India." Mr.
Gandhi on Tuesday (November 4, 2026) had challenged Mr. Modi to an open debate on his charge that the opposition is anti-national and asked why the Prime Minister has not filed a defamation case against him over his foreign connections allegation.
He accused Mr. Modi of occupying the PM's chair with foreign help, within a day of his earlier challenge for an open debate with the Prime Minister for accusing the opposition of taking foreign help to destabilise the country.
