'Bharat Khatra mein hai', tweets BJP with poster featuring Rahul Gandhi as the modern-day 'Ravan'

In a scathing attack, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lashed out at Rahul Gandhi, likening him to the mythical demon king 'Ravan' and accusing him of seeking to undermine India. The BJP took to X, formerly Twitter, to share a poster featuring Rahul Gandhi as the modern-day 'Ravan' and declared, "The new age Ravan is here. He is Evil. Anti Dharma. Anti Ram. His aim is to destroy Bharat."

The poster, posted by the BJP, further asserts, "Ravan... A Congress party production... Directed by George Soros."



George Soros, a Hungarian-American businessman and philanthropist, has faced allegations of meddling in India's internal affairs in an attempt to destabilize the nation. He has also been accused of promoting various anti-India agendas.

Earlier this year in June, the BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of meeting individuals who were purportedly funded by the Hungarian-American businessman during his visit to the United States. The saffron party raised significant concerns and called upon the Congress to clarify whether Rahul had indeed met Sunita Viswanath, who is allegedly associated with George Soros, during his U.S. trip.

Union Minister Smriti Irani shed light on the situation, saying, "The leaders of BJP and our workers have received information that an FIR has been lodged against a BJP leader for taking a stand regarding Rahul Gandhi's US visit. There are unanswered questions. Did he meet Sunita Vishwanath? We all know about (American businessman) George Soros' intention to destabilise the democratically elected government in India."

She was referring to the FIR filed against BJP IT Cell National Convenor Amit Malviya in Karnataka, following his tweet containing references to Rahul Gandhi.

"I draw your attention to 116 Congress Resolution 160 in the House of Representatives in February 2019," Irani continued. "This resolution expresses concern regarding the threat posed to democracy by theocratic groups operating in South Asia, and a part of the resolution speaks about the affiliation between the Islamic Circle in North America and Jamaat-e-Islami.

The Congress has neither refuted a meeting between Gandhi and an individual funded and financially supported by Soros, nor has the Congress party rejected the role of a certain Tazim Ansari, who has links with organizations. It is expected that the Congress party, given its draconian past, will leverage any available instruments to stifle those who voice an opinion against Gandhi," Irani added.

The BJP's allegations have ignited a fresh round of political debate and scrutiny, further fueling the ongoing tensions between the political factions.
