Rahul Gandhi’s ‘H-Files‘ Press Conference Sparks Political Storm
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi set off a political firestorm with explosive claims during his ‘H-Files‘ press conference in New Delhi. Alleging a shadowy nexus of corruption, foreign influence, and financial misconduct, Gandhi linked high-profile figures—from a Brazilian model to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein—to a web of power and deceit. The BJP dismissed the allegations as “baseless,” while opposition parties pushed for an independent investigation.
The ‘H-Files‘ Controversy: Key Allegations
Gandhi asserted that the ‘H-Files‘ contain damning evidence of financial irregularities, covert dealings, and threats to national security. Though he did not present concrete proof, he insisted the files reveal a “dangerous pattern” involving Indian politicians and business elites.
Brazilian Model & Offshore Transactions
Among the most shocking claims was an alleged connection between a prominent Brazilian model and Indian industrialists, with Gandhi hinting at illicit money flows through offshore accounts. While he avoided naming the model directly, sources speculate ties to a powerful Indian political family.
Saddam Hussein & Oil-for-Food Scandal Revisited
Gandhi revived the UN Oil-for-Food scandal, accusing Indian entities of receiving kickbacks from Saddam Hussein’s regime in the early 2000s. He claimed these funds were used to manipulate Indian elections, declaring, “This is about compromising India’s sovereignty.”
Adani & Ambani Under Fire Again
Reiterating past accusations, Gandhi targeted billionaires Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, alleging policy favors after 2014. “Why did their wealth skyrocket post-BJP’s rise?” he asked, demanding forensic scrutiny of purported transaction records in the ‘H-Files.’
Political Backlash & Public Reaction
- BJP: Dubbed the claims “fiction,” accusing Gandhi of deflecting from Congress’s corruption legacy.
- Opposition Parties (AAP, Left): Demanded a parliamentary probe.
- Legal Experts: Warned of potential defamation risks without verified evidence.
Media Frenzy & Public Debate
Social media erupted with #HFiles trending nationwide. While supporters praised Gandhi for “uncovering the truth,” critics called it a political stunt. News outlets questioned the absence of tangible proof, fueling further debate.
What’s Next?
With elections approaching, the ‘H-Files‘ could become a key campaign issue. Gandhi pledged more revelations, but whether this gains traction or backfires remains uncertain. One thing’s clear: India’s political climate just got hotter.
