A political dispute has arisen between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress following remarks at the Bharat Summit 2026 in Hyderabad organised by the Telangana government. The BJP challenged the credentials of international attendees, alleging connections to George Soros and accusing Congress of inviting foreign interference in India's affairs. Tensions increased after European socialist leader Giacomo Filibeck chanted a slogan that was supported by Rahul Gandhi. Union Minister Bandi Sanjay called the event an 'anti-Bharat summit' and accused the opposition of undermining democracy. Congress leaders responded by criticising the ruling party on issues such as unemployment and inflation. Rahul Gandhi addressed delegates emphasising the opposition's goal to defeat Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2029.
