The BJP on Saturday (December 20, 2025) alleged that Rahul Gandhi had a meeting with “enemies of India” during his visit to Germany and asked the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha as to what kind of “conspiracy” he is hatching against the country by joining hands with such forces.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, party national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia showed a purported picture of Mr.Gandhi with Berlin-based Hertie school president and professor Cornellia Woll and called it “proof” of the Congress leader meeting “anti-India forces in Germany”.
Mr. Bhatia claimed that Ms. Woll is one of the trustees of the Central European University, which is funded by U.S.-based billionaire investor George Soros’s Open Society Foundation.
BJP questions Rahul Gandhi’s ‘links’ with associates of George Soros
There was no immediate reaction from Rahul Gandhi or the Congress.
Last year too, the BJP had alleged that top Congress leaders had links with Soros-funded organisations that were involved in “anti-India” activities.
“If anyone meets anti-India forces and insults Bharat from foreign soil, it’s none other than Rahul,” Mr. Bhatia charged on Saturday (December 20), adding, “George Soros and Rahul Gandhi are two bodies but one soul.”
The BJP spokesperson asked why Mr. Gandhi goes abroad during or ahead of almost every session of Parliament and “meets enemies of India, who are jealous of India and attack its integrity”.
“What kind of anti-India agenda is it that the Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi is hatching a conspiracy against Bharat by joining hands with such anti-India forces,” he asked.
Mr. Bhatia alleged that Mr. Gandhi met “anti-India” forces during his previous foreign visits also, and “defamed and insulted India” with his remarks.
“This is not the first time Rahul Gandhi is indulging in such anti-national activities,” he said, adding, “Rahul Gandhi has become Mir Zafar”.
Mr. Bhatia alleged that George Soros makes anti-India statements and also provides funds to create unrest in India and attack the country’s integrity and sovereignty. “George Soros is not an Indian; he is a foreigner. But, Rahul Gandhi has taken the oath of protecting the Constitution,” he said.
“These snakelets within India need to be treated. People of the country are demanding it,” Mr. Bhatia added.
