BJP slams Congress’ Bharat Summit, calls it ‘anti-Bharat’ event

HYDERABAD Telangana BJP president N. Ramchander Rao on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on the Congress’s Bharat Summit being held at HITEX, describing it as an ‘Anti-Bharat Summit’ and alleging that it was backed by forces working against India’s interests. Addressing a press conference at the BJP state office, Mr. Rao claimed that what was initially projected as a platform to attract investment to Telangana had, in reality, turned into a ‘conspiratorial gathering’ involving foreign entities. He alleged that recent remarks and social media posts by senior Congress leaders, including Salman Khurshid and Sam Pitroda, had exposed the summit’s alleged links with international groups opposed to the country’s interests. The BJP leader accused the Congress of attempting to use support from these foreign organisations to create ‘unrest and instability’ with the objective of ‘weakening the government before the 2029 general elections’.
