Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Nitin Nabin today levelled allegations against the Nehru-Gandhi family, saying the family prioritises personal and foreign interests over national welfare. He accused the Gandhi family of pursuing a mission of compromise.
Describing Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi as a puppet of foreign powers, Nabin claimed the Congress MP goes abroad and meets anti-India people and does cheap politics in India at their behest.

Nabin attacks Nehru, Rajiv, Sonia
Recalling Nehru’s regime, Nabin claimed that Nehru himself had said that 45 crore people were a liability to him. He targeted Nehru for handing over India’s rights in Tibet to China in 1954.
“We all know how Nehru, in 1954, handed over India’s rights in Tibet to China… We all remember that the US Ambassador admitted that the CIA funded Congress’s election campaign… If you look at Rajiv Gandhi’s compromise mission, you can see how he used his defence service deals to strengthen his personal bank accounts,” he said.
The BJP National President also accused the party of running a parallel government during the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) era and compromising national interests for foreign funding.
Nabin accused Congress Parliamentary Chairperson Sonia Gandhi of exercising unconstitutional power as a “Super PM” through the National Advisory Council (NAC) from 2004 to 2014, undermining the authority of the then-Prime Minister.
He said, “Sonia Gandhi, who became the Super PM between 2004-14, through the National Advisory Council and ran a parallel government and cabinet. At the same time, funding for the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation from the Chinese government was provided under the Compromise Mission.”
