BJP sharpens attack on Congress; says Nehru-Gandhi family ties with George Soros 'run deep'
The HinduThe Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday intensified its attack on the Congress, alleging that the connection between U.S.-based billionaire George Soros and the Nehru-Gandhi family ‘runs deep,’ extending beyond Sonia Gandhi’s ‘role’ as co-president of the Forum of Democratic Leaders-Asia Pacific. “This raises questions about the extent to which the Nehru-Gandhi family may have compromised India’s strategic interests, over the decades, to benefit their extended family’s financial and entrepreneurial pursuits, as well as the interests of the deep state, they have been aligned with,” the BJP charged. "The connection between George Soros and the Nehru-Gandhi family runs deep, extending beyond Sonia Gandhi’s role as co-president of the Forum of Democratic Leaders-Asia Pacific," the BJP charged. The BJP has been on the offensive over the issue since last week when it alleged that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and former Congress president Sonia Gandhi had links with George Soros-backed outfits allegedly involved in anti-India activities.
