# BJP alleges Congress rift, Rahul camp insecure of Priyanka 2026-11-02T20:31:16+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The BJP has alleged a rift within the Congress party, claiming that two camps have formed around Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said the Rahul camp was insecure about Priyanka's growing influence and that she was deliberately denied opportunities to speak at the INDIA bloc's mock Parliament on Saturday, 31 October 2026, and the Ramlila Maidan rally on Sunday, 1 November 2026. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra echoed the claims, alleging Priyanka appeared unhappy at both events and that her 'vote has also been stolen' within the Gandhi family. The BJP leaders questioned whether Rahul Gandhi fears being sidelined by his sister. The Congress party has not responded to the allegations. The BJP's comments come after the opposition bloc held protests against alleged electoral irregularities. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources provide neutral wire-style reporting of the BJP's allegations, with no response from the Congress party.
