In a series of political statements, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP criticized Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party, citing endorsements from Pakistani leaders. Former Pakistani minister Fawad Chaudhry recently praised Rahul Gandhi, which BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla highlighted as evidence of a Congress-Pakistan nexus, using the phrase 'Ye rishta kya kahlata hai'. Modi, speaking at a rally in Gujarat, accused Congress of being favored by Pakistani leaders who wish to see Rahul Gandhi as India's next prime minister, stating 'Congress is dying here and Pakistanis are crying'. He further alleged that Congress's policies are influenced by Pakistan, a sentiment echoed in BJP's campaign rhetoric suggesting a partnership between Congress and Pakistan.
