Love between China and Congress out in open: BJP

NEW DELHI: Citing a news report in Global Times, BJP on Saturday claimed that Congress and Beijing have much in common as the Chinese mouthpiece has backed the main opposition against the Modi government.
BJP alleged that the opposition party was being used to fire at the country. “This is a classic definition of ‘anti-India stand’,” BJP spokesman Sambit Patra said, alleging that the Gandhi family has got “endorsement” from China and its president Xi Jinping.
Patra was referring to a report in the Chinese government mouthpiece which claimed that PM Narendra Modi and BJP were facing heavy domestic pressure with Congress waiting for such a chance to shake the Modi administration for its “disappointing domestic governance and risky foreign policy”. “The love between China and Congress is out in open,” the BJP functionary said and claimed that it was linked to a memorandum of understanding Congress had signed with Chinese Communist Party in 2008 which, he added, spoke of close relations between the two parties.
“Be it Pakistan, terrorists or China, why is it that all of them like Congress,” the BJP spokesperson asked.
