Bharat Summit Sparks Political Row; BJP Calls It ‘Anti-Bharat Summit’
New Delhi: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has criticised the Congress over the ‘Bharat Summit–2026’ held in Hyderabad on November 13 and 14, questioning the choice of speakers and describing the event as an ‘Anti-Bharat Summit’.
In a post on X, Dubey alleged that the summit was part of a network promoting misinformation and ideological agendas aimed at undermining the credibility of the Central Government. He claimed that the event, organised in collaboration with the Congress and the Telangana government, was an attempt to weaken India’s political system.

Among those who attended the summit were Dalit rights activist Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd, former Amnesty International Secretary General Salil Shetty, economists Jayati Ghosh, Rathin Roy and Himanshu, former Malaysian MP Nurul Izzah Anwar, South African politician Ebrahim Patel and Thai politician Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit.
Dubey alleged that the speakers were part of a ‘Break India’ strategy and claimed that critics of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government had been deliberately invited.
