BJP releases movie poster on X, casts Rahul Gandhi as ‘Ravan’; George Soros is director

The Congress-BJP rivalry is taking ever new twists and turns in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The saffron outfit Thursday portrayed Rahul Gandhi as “new age Ravan” on its X (previously Twitter) handle.

Rahul Gandhi is the “new age Ravan,” said BJP in its latest attack, linking him with BJP-baiter and billionaire George Soros, who has been accused on several occasions for having interfered with the electoral process of many countries for ideological reasons.

On X, BJP put out a poster showing Rahul Gandhi as Ravana’s avatar.  The Gandhi scion was shown with 10 heads.

“The new age Ravan is here. He is Evil. Anti-Dharma. Anti-Ram. His aim is to destroy Bharat,” BJP wrote alongside the poster.

The text on the image reads:

“Ravan

A Congress party production

Directed by George Soros.”

Soros is a Hungarian-born American businessman and financier, who is also a vocal critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He has been repeatedly slammed by the BJP over attempting to intervene in “India's democratic processes.” He is also been accused of running several anti-India propagandas.

Apart from the poster showing Rahul Gandhi as Ravan, the BJP has also released the around 4-minute video 'ghamandiya' files.
