BJP Accuses Rahul Gandhi of Discrediting India During Foreign Trips

Allegations Against Rahul Gandhi

On Saturday, BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of tarnishing India's image during his overseas trips. Bhatia claimed that Gandhi meets with anti-India forces abroad and engages in activities that undermine national interests. Speaking at a press conference in Delhi, he expressed concern over Gandhi's actions, stating that it is alarming and has angered Indian citizens.

Concerns Over Parliamentary Responsibilities

Bhatia further noted that Rahul Gandhi frequently travels abroad during parliamentary sessions, citing his recent trip to Germany as an example. He emphasized that the opposition leader's primary duty is to be present in Parliament during these sessions, yet he chose to visit Germany, where he met with Professor Dr. Cornelia Woll at Hertie School. This raises questions about his intentions and agenda.

Links to George Soros

The BJP leader also alleged a connection between Rahul Gandhi and George Soros, a financier often criticized by right-wing groups. He referenced the Open Society Foundation and Central European University, claiming these organizations are linked to anti-India activities. Bhatia remarked that Gandhi and Soros are like 'two bodies, one soul,' suggesting that this is not the first time Gandhi has been involved in actions perceived as anti-India.

Criticism of Gandhi's Foreign Engagements

Bhatia questioned the nature of Gandhi's agenda, stating that he meets with individuals who are enemies of India and those who envy the nation. He expressed concern over the implications of an opposition leader conspiring against India with such forces. These comments followed Gandhi's announcement of a five-day trip to Germany during the winter session of Parliament, which has drawn significant criticism from BJP leaders who argue that his frequent travels raise doubts about his loyalty to the Indian Congress.
