National/Alive News: Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has launched a fresh attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that foreign forces played a role in bringing him to power. Gandhi also challenged the Prime Minister to hold an open debate on the issue.
In a strongly worded post on X, Gandhi said, “Mr Modi, stop lying to this nation. You became Prime Minister because of foreign help, and you remain in office because of foreign help.” He also raised concerns over alleged foreign influence on India’s financial system.

Gandhi’s remarks came after Prime Minister Modi criticised the Opposition during the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas celebrations in Gujarat on October 31. Without directly naming Gandhi, Modi described the Opposition as an ‘Avrodh Paksh’ (obstructive force) instead of a constructive opposition. He also questioned the foreign meetings of Opposition leaders and alleged that certain forces were conspiring to divide the country.
