Telangana BJP terms Congress’ Bharat Summit an ‘Anti-Bharat Summit’
Hyderabad, Nov 11 (TNT): Telangana BJP President N Ramchander Rao on Wednesday termed the proposed Bharat Summit being organised by the Congress in Hyderabad an “Anti-Bharat Summit”, alleging that it was aimed at providing a political platform for foreign forces opposed to India and relaunching Rahul Gandhi politically.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP state headquarters here, Rao alleged that the Congress leadership, including Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, was associated with the Progressive International, which he accused of working against India’s interests under the slogan of “regime change”.
He claimed that AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge had met representatives of the organisation in New Delhi, while Sonia Gandhi had also held a separate meeting with them at 10 Janpath.
He alleged that individuals and groups associated with the organisation, including those linked to George Soros, were involved in activities against democratically elected governments.
Rao further alleged that the alliance had contributed to political unrest in countries such as Spain, France, Albania, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and claimed that similar forces were now seeking to use Hyderabad as a base for their activities in India.
Stating that the BJP had no objection to the state government organising a global summit to attract investments, he said holding an event involving organisations allegedly working against India’s interests was unacceptable.
He alleged that the Congress was seeking to project Rahul Gandhi as a potential Prime Minister before foreign delegates from around 100 countries attending the summit, despite what he described as his lack of public support in the country.
Rao said it was ironic that Rahul Gandhi was seeking political recognition through foreign delegates after failing to gain the confidence of the Indian electorate.
