Congress leader Manish Tewari slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders for politicising his recent tweet on the regime change in the neighbouring nations. While suggesting the saffron party leaders "grow up", Tewari stated that every issue should not be "dumbed down to a Congress-BJP". A controversy sparked after Tewari, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stated that the recent huge protests show that "entitlement is no longer acceptable". BJP leader Amit Malviya alleged that Tewari's post was an indirect dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. However, the Congress MP clarified that his post had nothing to do with the regional politics, further suggesting the BJP leaders not politicise his post.
In a post on X, Tewari stated that the recent protests in the Asian countries show a pattern that the people are no longer accepting the entitlement. "The toppling of - President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in Sri Lanka in July 2023, Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh in July 2024, KP Sharma Oli in Nepal in September 2025 and now the protests against Ferdinand Marcos Jr in the Philippines have one word written over them. ENTITLEMENT IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE TO GEN X, Y, Z," the Congress leader stated.
Gosh I just wish that some people would grow up in life .

While sharing his post, BJP leader Amit Malviya claimed that Tewari's post was an indirect dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. "Senior Congress leader Manish Tewari, member of the G-23 rebel group, takes aim at Rahul Gandhi - the ultimate 'Nepo Kid' of Indian politics. Forget Gen Z, even Congress's own veterans are fed up with his regressive politics. The revolt is now from within," Malviya claimed in his post.
However, Tewari clarified that his post had nothing to do with the national politics, further suggesting the BJP leader to "grow-up." "Gosh, I just wish that some people would grow up in life. Everything does not have to be dumbed down to a Cong-BJP, 'he said she said' or targeting X or Y," Tewari stated. "What is happening in South Asia and East Asia has serious National Security implications and why it is happening needs to be understood in the correct perspective," he added.
