Telangana BJP chief calls Congress’ Bharat Summit ‘Anti-India’

Hyderabad: Telangana Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) President N Ramchander Rao on Wednesday, November 11, termed the Bharat Summit, to be hosted by the Congress here on November 13 and 14, an “Anti-Bharat Summit”, alleging that it would bring together radical Left and anti-India groups from across the world to facilitate another relaunch of the “failed Gandhi dynast”.

Rao alleged that the Congress was bringing together anti-India forces under the guise of the Bharat Rising Summit and warned that the people of Telangana would not remain silent.

“Today morning, Sam Pitroda said that Bharat Summit is a collaboration of various people. Not countries, various people. It means the event is not Bharat Summit but Anti-Bharat Summit. The countries and individuals who are anti-India have a ‘Progressive Alliance’. Rahul Gandhi is also an equivalent member in the Progressive Alliance,” Rao told reporters here.

He alleged that AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge had met a delegation of representatives from an organisation called “Progressive Alliance” in New Delhi, while Sonia Gandhi had also held a special meeting with them.

Rao further alleged that the Progressive International comprised anti-Indian forces, including individuals such as George Soros.

Claiming that the same Progressive Alliance had triggered severe upheavals in countries such as Spain, France, Albania, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, Rao alleged that the alliance, of which Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were members, was now being brought into India.

The Congress, amid an evolving geopolitical situation, is hosting political leaders, policymakers, academics, business representatives and civil society members from 70 countries for deliberations on the emergence of a new global order and India’s strategic responses to the developments.

The summit will also discuss issues such as cooperative federalism and electoral integrity.

Senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid has said the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad on November 13 and 14 will bring together around 1,000 delegates from across the world. The areas of focus will also include the formation of a new think tank, “Our World”.
