BJP Alleges Congress-Maoist Nexus Threatens National Sovereignty

The BJP accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of promoting Naxalite sympathies, claiming this alliance jeopardizes national sovereignty. Allegations suggest the UPA-era policy shortcomings empowered Naxal influence. Under Prime Minister Modi, the Naxalite threat has waned, but BJP continues to critique Gandhi's alleged endorsement of extremist elements.

The BJP has intensified its critique of the Congress, accusing the party and its leader Rahul Gandhi of fostering "Naxalite sympathies," thereby threatening India's national sovereignty.

The ruling party attributes the extended insurgency of Naxalism in India to policy paralysis during the UPA-II government, exacerbated by the influence of "urban Naxals" in the Sonia Gandhi-led National Advisory Council.

While Prime Minister Modi's governance has reportedly curtailed Naxalite activity significantly, the BJP questions Gandhi's actions that appear to endorse such extremist narratives, highlighting recent protests supporting notorious Maoist leaders.
