Italian politician’s “Vote chori” remark goes viral
At the Congress-organised Bharat Summit 2026 in Hyderabad, an Italian politician took the party’s campaign line abroad. Filibeck, secretary-general of the Party of European Socialists, voiced support for Rahul Gandhi and the Congress, invoked the “vote chor, gaddi chhod” slogan, and warned that democracy in India was “under attack,” urging the international community to help defend it.The BJP was quick to respond, charging that Congress had allowed foreign political representatives to weigh in on India’s internal affairs.
