Bengaluru buzzed with political fireworks as BJP MLC CT Ravi tore into Congress for allegedly prioritizing party gains over national security in foreign policymaking. In a Tuesday press interaction, he drew a clear line: BJP serves the nation, Congress serves itself.
“Let me be crystal clear—we formulate foreign policy for India’s progress, not our votes,” Ravi declared. “Country before party, every single time. That’s our unwavering principle.”
Ravi’s ire extended to public responses following Ayatollah Khamenei’s demise. “Mourners flooding streets for Khamenei baffles me. What’s his tie to India? These folks ignored the Pahalgam massacre of our people. They rejected the Constitution for Sharia—disloyalty at its core; they aren’t Indians.”
Countering Sonia Gandhi’s push for an Iran debate in Parliament, Ravi was forthright. “Debate away; we have no fears. But Congress, stop dodging. You’ve weaponized national issues before—we never have. BJP’s north star is India’s benefit, non-negotiable.”
Defending the India-Israel friendship, Ravi probed Congress’s reservations. “Harmonious ties with Israel aid us immensely—so why the fuss? Viewing world events politically is Congress’s flaw. Israel stands with us; questioning that defies logic.”
As geopolitical currents swirl, Ravi’s outspoken critique spotlights the need for unified national strategy beyond petty politics.
