Telangana BJP president N. Ramchander Rao accused Congress of organising the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad with backing from Progressive International, alleging links to individuals and groups hostile to India. He claimed Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and Sonia Gandhi engaged with the group, accused it of meddling in other countries, and said the summit aimed to relaunch Gandhi, prompting BJP opposition.
