Rahul Gandhi Criticizes BJP's Control Over India's Institutional Framework

Concerns Raised by Rahul Gandhi

In a recent address, Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, expressed grave concerns regarding the institutional framework of India, claiming it is under significant threat and being weaponized in favor of the ruling BJP. His remarks were made during a speech at the Hertie School in Berlin.

The BJP responded sharply to Gandhi's comments, with party president J.P. Nadda accusing the Congress leader of disrespecting India on foreign soil. Pradeep Bhandari, a national spokesperson for the BJP, criticized Gandhi's statements made during a discussion in Germany, alleging that the Congress leader is fostering an atmosphere of chaos and failure for India abroad.

BJP's Strong Rebuttal

Bhandari questioned the intentions behind Gandhi's remarks, suggesting they reflect an anti-India mindset. He shared a video of Gandhi's comments on the social media platform X, asking rhetorically if someone who loves India would wish for its failure. Gandhi's assertions in Germany included predictions of conflict among people, India's failure, and the spread of unrest, which Bhandari interpreted as a threat of chaos against the Indian state.

Furthermore, the BJP spokesperson accused Gandhi of traveling abroad to unite anti-democratic elements against India's democratic institutions and progress.

Allegations Against Congress

Bhandari claimed that Gandhi's Congress party, in collaboration with its ideological backer George Soros, aims to instigate chaos and unrest within Indian democracy. He asserted that Gandhi's trips abroad are intended to rally forces opposed to India, accusing the Congress of consistently undermining India's global image and democratic framework, stating that the party "hates Indian democracy" and "despises India's progress."
