Controversy
In September 2020,a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed before the Jharkhand High Court alleging that Nishikant Dubey had made false claims in his election affidavits for the 2009,2014,and 2019 general elections regarding his educational qualifications. The petitioner asserted that Dubey had claimed to possess a Master of Business Administration degree from the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS),Delhi University. In support of the allegation,the PIL cited a response to a Right to Information (RTI) application from Delhi University,which reportedly stated that no student by the name “Nishikant Dubey”was enrolled at the said institute.

In March 2024,an FIR was registered against Dubey for allegedly usurping a private medical college through fraudulent means using the Medical Council of India and the Baba Baidyanath Medical Trust. [11]
In April 2025,Dubey criticized Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna during the hearings on the Waqf (Amendment) Act,2025,accusing the court's actions of potentially leading to civil unrest. [12] He also criticized former Chief Election Commissioner Dr. S. Y. Quraishi,calling him a 'Muslim Commissioner'. [13]
In February 2026,Dubey moved a substantive motion in the Lok Sabha seeking to cancel the parliamentary membership of Rahul Gandhi and debar him from contesting elections. Dubey accused Gandhi of colluding with anti-India forces,citing Gandhi's references to ruling party politicians in relation to the Epstein files,the India–US trade deal,and claims in an unpublished memoir by former Army Chief M.M. Naravane. [14]
Azad Adhikar Sena President Amitabh Thakur presented a complaint against Dubey and his wife before the Lokpal of India. The Lokpal dismissed the allegations,describing the complaint as frivolous. Dubey responded by calling the outcome a victory of truth ("Satyameva Jayate"). [15] [16] [17] [18]
