India's Bharatiya Janata Party has strongly criticized American businessman George Soros.

On Friday, February 17, 2023, Union Minister in India's Narendra Modi government and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Smriti Irani held a press conference and said that George Soros' statement is a declaration to destroy India's democratic process.

George Soros had said in Germany's Munich Defense Conference that India is a democratic country, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not democratic and the violence against Indian Muslims is the main reason for Modi's fast becoming a big leader.

George Soros said that India buys oil from Russia at a lower price. According to George Soros, Modi is currently silent in the Gautam Adani case but he will have to answer questions from foreign investors and in Parliament. This will weaken their hold on the government.

George Soros even claimed that this would lead to a revival of the democratic process in India.

Earlier in January 2020, in a program of the World Economic Forum meeting held in Davos, criticizing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, George Soros had said that India is being made a Hindu nationalist country.

George Soros said in a program of the World Economic Forum meeting held in Davos in January 2020 that this is the biggest and most terrible blow to India, where the democratically elected Narendra Modi is making India a Hindu nationalist country.

George Soros also said that Modi is punishing the people of Kashmir by imposing sanctions and threatening to take away citizenship from millions of Muslims through the Citizenship Act (CAA).

Criticizing Soros on Friday, February 17, 2023, Smriti Irani said that efforts are being made to weaken India's democratic structure from foreign soil.

According to Smriti Irani, this is an attempt to interfere in India's internal affairs.

Smriti Irani appealed to all Indians to give a befitting reply to this.

Congress has also given its reaction on the statement of George Soros.

Congress party general secretary and media head Jairam Ramesh tweeted, "Whether or not the Adani scam involving the PM initiates a democratic resurgence in India entirely depends on the Congress, the opposition and our election process."

"This has nothing to do with George Soros. Our Nehruvian legacy ensures that people like him cannot decide our election results."

Shiv Sena's Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has criticized the BJP.

Priyanka Chaturvedi tweeted, "Who is George Soros and why is BJP's troll ministry holding a press conference on him. By the way, Minister, would you like to say something on the Israeli agency's interference in India's election process? He is a bigger threat to India's democracy."

Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra took a jibe at Smriti Irani, saying, "Respected cabinet minister has called upon every Indian to give a befitting reply to George Soros. Please bang the plate at 6 pm today."
