Ketkar claimed that these agencies actively worked to reduce Congress's seat tally, arguing that a stable Congress-led government would have hindered their influence in India. He asserted that detailed data on states and constituencies was collected by these foreign agencies to further their agenda.
In response, the Bharatiya Janata Party dismissed the allegations, stating that its electoral victories are driven by popular support from various sections of Indian society, including the poor, farmers, women, and youth. The party further criticized Congress, suggesting that following the agenda of foreign agencies would not help its progress. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions and mutual accusations between the two major political parties in India.
