A senior political leader criticised the ruling party’s protest against the MGNREGA name change, terming it a diversion from the scheme’s benefits. The speaker accused the party of ignoring freedom fighters and engaging in minority appeasement by celebrating Christmas while skipping Diwali. The interview also targeted a new political party launched by an actor, calling it a ‘glorified fan club’ and questioning its viability. The speaker further discussed the upcoming 2026 elections, the strength of the alliance, and the political undertones of upcoming movie releases.
