Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday slammed Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s visit to four South American countries, alleging he is building a “global alliance” against India, and that billionaire George Soros “must be directing him”.

This came after Congress’s Pawan Khera, in a social media post, mentioned that Rahul Gandhi has embarked on a visit to South America, where he is scheduled to engage with political leaders, university students, and members of the business community across four countries.

In an X post, BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari wrote, “Rahul Gandhi goes on yet another foreign visit! Rahul Gandhi departs to South America! Wonder who will be the next anti-India element that Rahul will meet behind closed doors!”

“Rahul wants to fight the Indian state and Indian democracy! He is building a global alliance for it. George Soros, his mentor, might be directing him!” he added.

Bhandari highlighted that the timing of Rahul Gandhi’s visit coincides with the arrest of activist Sonam Wangchuk, and mentioned, “In the past, he has asked for foreign interference in Indian democracy, met anti-India elements like Ilhan Omar, and even got the endorsement of Khalistani terrorist Pannu.”

“Note the timing: Just after his ideological anarchist Sonam Wangchuk has been arrested under the NSA, Rahul Gandhi has departed!” 

According to the Congress, Gandhi will visit Brazil and Colombia, where he is expected to interact with university students.

He will hold meetings with presidents and senior leaders across multiple countries, strengthening democratic and strategic ties, the party said.

Gandhi will engage with business leaders to explore opportunities as India seeks to diversify trade and partnerships in the wake of US tariffs, it said.

He will interact with university students in Brazil, Colombia, and beyond, fostering dialogue with the next generation of global leaders.
