BJP alleges Sonia Gandhi linked to George Soros Foundation, influencing Indian politics through foreign funding and connections.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday (December 8, 2024) alleged that former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, as the co-president of the Forum of Democratic Leaders in the Asia-Pacific (FDL-AP), was linked to an organisation financed by the “George Soros Foundation.”
Reiterating its allegation about a connection between the Congress party and billionaire George Soros, the BJP — through a thread on X — said it implied “their shared goal of diminishing India’s growth”.
“Sonia Gandhi, as the co-president of the FDL-AP Foundation, is linked to an organisation financed by the George Soros Foundation. Notably, the FDL-AP Foundation has expressed their views that treat Kashmir as a separate entity. This association between Sonia Gandhi and an organisation that has backed the idea of Kashmir as an independent nation expresses the influence of foreign entities on India’s internal affairs and the political impact of such connections,” it said.
The BJP further alleged that Ms. Gandhi’s chairmanship of the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation “led to a partnership with the George Soros Foundation, displaying the influence of foreign funding on Indian organisations.”
“Salil Shetty, the vice-president of the Soros-funded Open Society Foundation, participated in the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Here, he can be seen with none other than Rahul Gandhi, former president of the Congress,” it said, sharing a photograph.
The ruling party alleged that Mr. Gandhi’s press conference on Adani was live telecast by George Soros-funded Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), which Mr. Gandhi used as a source to criticise Adani. “It shows nothing but their strong and dangerous relationship and highlights their attempts to derail the Indian economy,” said the BJP.
