BJP Slams Rahul Gandhi Over Anti-Modi Poster in New York

BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi and IT cell head Amit Malviya criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over an anti-Modi protest poster in New York. Accusations include Gandhi's alleged collaboration with anti-India forces and undermining India's image abroad. The controversies coincide with PM Modi's three-day US visit.

BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi following the alleged circulation of a protest poster targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to New York on Saturday. Speaking to ANI, Trivedi remarked, "It is beyond doubt that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi got the meeting and support of those forces who are declared enemies of India. Are they the same group showing this hate advertisement?"

BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya also took to social media platform X to share the controversial poster, which read, "Protest: Modi, You're Not Welcome in New York." Malviya accused the Congress leader of engaging in "divisive anti-India politics," including collaborating with forces hostile to India's interests. He further stated, "Every time Rahul Gandhi goes abroad, he indulges in the most divisive anti-India politics, including hobnobbing with agencies and collaborating with forces inimical to India's interest."

Malviya's post added that Congress advisor Sam Pitroda and his associates are planning a protest against Prime Minister Modi during his visit to New York. He warned that Rahul Gandhi's efforts to seek political relevance could be met with a strong reaction from the Indian populace. Meanwhile, PM Modi has commenced his three-day visit to the United States, beginning with his arrival at Philadelphia International Airport on Saturday. Modi's itinerary includes attending key international meetings, such as a Quad summit and an address at the United Nations General Assembly. The Prime Minister highlighted his meeting with President Biden as an opportunity to deepen the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership.
