The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has on Friday strongly condemned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for repeating his words several times in foreign countries, which, according to the party, serve to tarnish the national interests of India. By calling the remarks of Gandhi anti-India, the BJP implied that the Congress, either deliberately or inadvertently, is a tool in the hands of anti-national forces.
BJP legislator Sudhanshu Trivedi has tracked the reason behind the continued presence of the Gandhi family in the Congress party, and pointed to examples of Motilal Nehru in 1919 and then Jawaharlal Nehru and the current generation. Trivedi also contended that, despite over a century of rule by the same family, Congress appears to be taking foreign orders instead of thinking about the interests of India.
He used several examples of some of the words spoken by Rahul Gandhi in foreign countries, such as speaking at Columbia University, Chatham House in London, Stanford University, and events in Dubai, Singapore, Malaysia, Bahrain, and the United States in 2017-2023. Trivedi asserted that these statements are part of a pattern of anti-Indian commentary, in particular referring to a speech given by Gandhi in March 2023 at Chatham House, in which he asked why those in Europe and America who were worried about democracy remained silent—a comment that Trivedi termed an offence.
In a contrasting historical view, Trivedi quoted the speech of Mahatma Gandhi of 1931 at Chatham House, where he held the British guilty of the ills of India and compared it to the recent speech of Rahul Gandhi, which he found unbecoming and hurtful.
In other articles, Trivedi highlighted the successes of India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing reports at Cambridge and Stanford on digital transformation, AI skill penetration, and AI vibrancy. He pointed to a World Bank report released in July 2025 that revealed that the level of extreme poverty in India had been reduced to only 2.3%. He suggested that these achievements are not acknowledged or valued by the words of Rahul Gandhi, who has just come to the international scene, and Modi has come to power in the country, whose roots are in a modest life, but not foreign relations.
