He accused the Congress party of using public funds to defame Prime Minister Narendra Modi and divert attention from their own electoral failures.
Why it matters
This highlights the intense political polarization in India and the use of rhetoric regarding foreign influence in domestic political discourse.
HYDERABAD Union Minister for Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy joined other State BJP leaders in alleging that the Telangana government’s proposed Bharat Summit, scheduled to be held in Hyderabad on November 13 and 14, is a gathering of “anti-national and pro-Pakistan forces” driven by an agenda allegedly linked to investor-philanthropist George Soros. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Mr. Kishan Reddy described the event as an “anti-India summit” aimed at defaming the country’s constitutional institutions and alleged that the platform was being used to level “false and personal allegations” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Secunderabad MP questioned the use of public funds for what he described as a Congress party programme and said it was unfortunate that Telangana was being used as a “platform for forces that spew venom against the nation”.
