To this, Vir Das responded and said that the idea of two nations has been around for a while now and it has many versions as well. "The only thing that stays the same, is your predictable reactions," he added.

Speaking in parliament, Rahul Gandhi had said, "The first and what I considered to be the most important is the idea that there are now two Indias. There is now no longer one India. There are two Indias. One India is for the extremely rich people- for those who have immense wealth, for those who have immense power, for those who do not need a job, for those who do not need water connections, electricity connections, but, for those who control the heartbeat of the country; and then another India for the poor (disruptions by BJP MPs)…. and for my friends in the government, I want to make it clear that the spirit what I am saying is not one of criticism.??

"The spirit with which I speak is one of discomfort with the status, the state of our country, and the spirit with which I speak, is one where I am worried about what is happening in the country. So you must not take it as a criticism, take it as a citizen of the country, who is concerned about what is going on."

In addition to this, he wrote on Twitter, "There are 2 competing visions of India. One, of a Union of States, where decisions are taken through conversation & negotiation – a partnership of equals. Another, of rule by a Shahenshah’s diktat. This hasn’t worked in 3000 years. BJP’s flawed vision has weakened our nation."

He added. "Institutions – instruments of conversation between states & people – are being destroyed by BJP’s idea of India. They’ve created a divide where a “Double A” variant of the very richest monopolise all sectors. Yet in “Gareebon ka Hindustan”, 3 crore youth lost jobs in 2021."
