A fierce political war of words erupted between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress on Tuesday after Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed office and remains in power due to external assistance. Launching an aggressive counteroffensive, the ruling party described the claim as a groundless falsehood designed to divert attention from the opposition's own vulnerabilities, with BJP leaders accusing Gandhi of habitual hypocrisy on issues concerning national sovereignty and international influence.

"Desperate Fraud": BJP Spokesperson Invokes Rahul Gandhi's 2023 London Address

Sharpening the saffron party's offensive, BJP national spokesperson C.R. Keshavan took to social media platform X to denounce Gandhi's remarks, terming him a "desperate fraud" whose political fabrications consistently backfire. Revisiting past controversies, Keshavan shared archival footage from March 2023 when the Congress leader spoke in the United Kingdom ahead of the general elections, alleging that Gandhi had openly invited foreign intervention in India's domestic democratic processes by claiming the struggle was not India's alone. The spokesperson argued that those who actively sought Western validation against their own country have no moral authority to lecture the ruling dispensation on foreign dependencies.

BJP Demands Answers on Alleged George Soros Ties and Unofficial Foreign Tours

Escalating the scrutiny, the BJP posed direct questions regarding the Congress leadership’s purported links with controversial foreign entities, asking why the party has stayed silent regarding former party chief Sonia Gandhi's past association as co-chair of the Forum of Democratic Leaders in Asia-Pacific—a body allegedly sympathetic to separatist viewpoints on Kashmir and linked to financier George Soros. Keshavan further pressed Gandhi on his ties to foreign organizations such as Hindenburg Research and figures like Cornelia Voll, while demanding full disclosure regarding the itinerary, private hosts, and covert agendas behind Gandhi's recurring unannounced overseas trips, asserting that secret engagements by the Leader of the Opposition pose questions of vital national security.

Debate Challenge Follows PM Modi’s Warning Against Disruptive Global Alliances

The escalation originated after Gandhi used his digital platforms to counter Prime Minister Modi’s National Unity Day address, twisting the Prime Minister’s cautionary words about foreign conspiracies by claiming without documentary proof that the Modi government and India's economic systems rely on outside powers, while challenging the PM to an open debate. His remarks came in direct response to Prime Minister Modi's warning alerting citizens against insidious external and domestic forces seeking to tarnish India's global reputation. Modi had stressed that after a decade of continuous political defeat, disruptive networks have grown brazen, urging the nation to identify who is holding undisclosed meetings abroad and echoing anti-India rhetoric from hostile quarters.
