Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's comments about alleged vote manipulation in India have drawn fire from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during a recent speech in Germany. The BJP accused Gandhi of undermining India's democratic institutions on foreign soil by reiterating his claims of electoral irregularities. Gandhi made the remarks while speaking at the Hertie School in Berlin, where he claimed that the Congress party had won the Haryana Assembly elections but alleged that the Maharashtra Assembly elections were unfair. He also accused the central investigative agencies of being 'weaponised' by the government. Gandhi's comments sparked a heated debate, with BJP leaders labeling him an 'anti-India leader' and accusing him of trying to damage India's international image. The BJP also questioned Gandhi's meetings with individuals they claimed had an 'anti-India agenda'. In response, the Congress party and its allies defended Gandhi's right to speak out against alleged electoral irregularities and accused the BJP of trying to silence him. The controversy has highlighted the deepening divisions between India's ruling party and the opposition, with each side accusing the other of undermining the country's democratic institutions.
