Sudhanshu Trivedi denies caste angle in Uttarakhand video, slams Rahul Gandhi

BJP parliamentarian Sudhanshu Trivedi responded to the uproar over a video titled ‘shuddhikaran’ that surfaced from Uttarakhand, insisting that the content does not carry a caste‑based narrative. He argued that the footage was being misinterpreted by opponents to create communal tension.

Trivedi also targeted senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of exploiting the controversy for political mileage. He said Gandhi’s statements were aimed at diverting attention from the party’s own performance in the state.

The video, which has been shared widely on social media, sparked debate across the region, with some observers calling for a probe into its origins. Trivedi called for calm and urged the public to focus on development issues rather than divisive rhetoric.
