Treason, anti-India agenda: BJP slams Congress’ Bharat Summit
Hyderabad: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has alleged that the Congress party had a “hidden agenda” behind the two-day Bharat Summit 2026 that ended in Hyderabad on Saturday, November 14.
The saffron party alleged that the summit was a platform for the Congress-led Telangana government to take up anti-India narratives.
Telangana BJP chief N Ramchander Rao shared a clip of Party of European Socialists’ Secretary General Giacomo Filibeck saying “vote chor gaddi chhod” (vote thief leave the seat) during his speech at the summit and claimed that Rahul Gandhi was committing “treason” by applauding his remarks.
Vote chor gaddi chhod is a political slogan that gained popularity in 2025 after Rahul Gandhi alleged that the BJP and the Election Commission of India were indulging in electoral fraud.
“Rahul Gandhi is no longer behaving like an Indian leader. He is acting like a puppet playing to the tune of foreign masters and following their instructions. ” Rao stated in a post on X.
విదేశీ నాయకులతో కలిసి మన దేశ ప్రజాస్వామ్యాన్ని అపహాస్యం చేయించి, వారి వ్యాఖ్యలకు గర్వంగా చప్పట్లు కొట్టడం దేశద్రోహం కాకపోతే మరేమిటి?

రాహుల్ గాంధీ ఇకపై ఒక భారతీయ నాయకుడిలా వ్యవహరించడం లేదు. విదేశీ యజమానుల కనుసన్నల్లో, వారి ఆదేశాలకు అనుగుణంగా ఆడే కీలుబొమ్మలా వ్యవహరిస్తున్నారు. pic.twitter.com/ZlBevNAJSv
Congress inviting ‘India baiters’ to summit: BJP MP
Meanwhile, Rajya Sabha MP and BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi questioned the Congress party’s “hidden agenda” behind its foiled attempt to invite alleged “India baiters” to the summit.
He hit out at the Congress-led Telangana government for seeking to provide a platform to people like Ecuador’s former minister Guillaume Long, who reportedly received USD 420,000 in 2021 from American investor George Soros-backed Open Society Policy Centre.

“Congress and Rahul Gandhi have to answer the nation! Is Bharat Summit 2026 in Hyderabad a platform for dialogue or an attempt to provide another international platform to take up anti-India narratives?” asked Trivedi amid allegations by the Congress that nearly 115 out of 315 speakers invited to the event were denied visas by the Centre.
‘Anti-India agenda’
The BJP MP accused the Congress of attempting to seek international backing for an “anti-India” agenda under the guise of the Summit, demanding answers for the grand old party’s visible love for India baiters.
Trivedi asked, “Why is Congress bringing such individuals and international networks onto its political platform? This creates deep suspicion about a larger agenda?”
“So, the onus of an unequivocal answer is on Congress,” he said, reacting to Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s criticism of the Centre’s decision to deny permission to some of the event invitees from reaching the country.
Sharing details of suspicious activities of some of the banned invitees, Trivedi wrote on X, “As per information in the public domain, CEPR, associated with Guillaume Long, reportedly received USD 420,000 in 2021 from George Soros-backed Open Society Policy Centre.”
‘Salil Shetty, former Secretary General of Amnesty International, made serious allegations against the Indian government over Kashmir in a 2019 Harvard interview,” he said.
“In March 2025, the ED conducted searches at eight Bengaluru premises linked to Open Society Foundations in connection with alleged FEMA violations,” he said.
