BJP accuses Congress of putting up banners with ‘distorted’ India map

New Delhi, PTI: The BJP alleged on Thursday that the Congress, ahead of the CWC meeting in Karnataka’s Belagavi, put up welcome banners with a distorted map of India, and asked the party whether it is following a “signal” from anti-India forces like USbased billionaire investor George Soros. The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) charge came after its Karnataka unit posted on X pictures of a banner and a welcome flex allegedly put up by the Congress in Karnataka ahead of its working committee meeting.

“@INCKarnataka has shown utter disrespect for India’s sovereignty by displaying a distorted map at their Belagavi event, porfrom the map used by the Congress. The important thing is that it (the map) has been used with Mahatma Gandhi’s picture,” BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi told a press conference at the party headquarters here. He alleged that this is not the first time that the Congress has used a distorted map of India.

“Why is India’s map being shown after removing different parts of the country? Is it just a coincidence nexus” with such forces that dream of disintegrating India has become “absolutely clear”, with the party using a “distorted” map of the country. “I want to assure everyone that the government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is alert about all such forces. We are fully confident that the people of the country are equally alert and keeping an eye on such forces,” Trivedi said, adding that such elements will never succeed.
