BJP”s social media poster depicts Rahul Gandhi as the multiple-headed Ravan, and the slogan on it says, “Bharat Khatre Mein Hai,” which means “India is in danger.”

Designed as a motion picture poster, it also says, “Ravan, a Congress party production, directed by George Soros,” hinting at the allegation of the ruling party that the millionaire-philanthropist runs an agenda against India.

Congress, in responding to the graphics, called the BJP post as a well-planned conspiracy to eliminate their “fiercest critic”, Rahul Gandhi, “Someone who attacks the very core of their hate-filled ideology”.

“No words are enough to condemn the shameful graphic on the BJP handle comparing Sh. Rahul Gandhi ji to Ravana. Their nefarious intentions are clear, they want to murder him. He, who lost his grandmother and father to assassinations. They withdrew his SPG protection to score petty political points. After evicting him from his secure residence, they haven”t allocated another house that he has requested for,” Congress’ general secretary in charge-organisation KC Venugopal said in an X post.

Senior Congress leader and party’s communications in-charge Jairam Ramesh said the post “intends to incite and provoke violence against a Congress MP and a former President of the party, whose father and grandmother were assassinated by forces that want to divide India.”

“It is one thing for the PM to give evidence daily of being a pathological liar and of suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder. But for him to get his party to produce something this obnoxious is not just completely unacceptable, but is downright dangerous,” he added while stating the Congress party “will not be intimidated” by such posts.
