Rahul Gandhi, 'foreign collaborators' want to create anarchy in India: BJP

New Delhi: The BJP on Friday hit back at the Congress following its attack on the Modi government over US actions affecting Indian IT professionals and accused Rahul Gandhi and his "foreign collaborators" of wanting to create anarchy in the country.

In a series of posts on X, BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the guardian of Indian interests.

"Do not forget! Rahul Gandhi openly declared in the past - 'We are fighting the Indian state'," Bhandari said.

"In his eagerness to come to power, Rahul Gandhi and his foreign collaborators want to create anarchy," he charged.

"In matters of India's national interest, Rahul Gandhi always chose to stand against it, and he willingly surrenders. Rahul Gandhi is against Indian state," he claimed.

Bhandari also took on Congress leader Jairam Ramesh over his dig at the Modi government over the heavy security deployment ahead of the Cockroach Janata Party's (CJP) October 10 protest against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, saying, "Do not panic. People of India are seeing through Mir Jafar Rahul Gandhi and your cabal."

"Mr Jairam Ramesh, your attempt to create anarchy won't succeed," the BJP spokesperson said.

Attacking the Centre over the US government's actions affecting Indian IT professionals, the Congress said earlier in the day that India has a number of options to retaliate but a "thoroughly compromised" PM, now under "siege" on "GyaneshGate", will not do so.

The opposition party also said that the heavy security deployment ahead of the CJP's protest shows the level of "panic and nervousness" after four days of unrelenting protests by the INDIA bloc.
