State BJP chief warns Congress against backing ‘anti-national forces’

State BJP president N. Ramchander Rao has accused the Congress party and various student organizations of conspiring with foreign-funded 'anti-national' forces to incite unrest. He claims these groups are attempting to destabilize the government, similar to recent political upheavals in neighboring countries.
Why it matters
The rhetoric highlights the intensifying political polarization in India, where domestic protests are increasingly framed by the ruling party as foreign-backed subversion.
State BJP president N. Ramchander Rao on Thursday warned Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Congress leaders against supporting what he termed “anti-national forces” and organisations allegedly funded by foreign sources.
Addressing a press conference at the party State office, Mr. Rao claimed that India’s youth would not remain “silent spectators” if attempts were made to replicate developments witnessed in Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Instead, he said, they would actively contribute to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of building a “New India”.
