Elon Musk Funding Rahul Gandhi to Abolish Constitution, Promote Communism: BJP MLA

Mumbai, Oct 12 : BJP MLA Parinay Fuke on Monday alleged that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk was funding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and opposition-led protests as part of an international conspiracy to undermine the Constitution and promote communism in India.

Fuke claimed that foreign industrialists were backing the ongoing protest movements to create unrest in the country and gain access to India's domestic market. He alleged that Musk had created chaos in other countries to facilitate the entry of foreign businesses into their markets and that a similar strategy was being attempted in India.

Referring to the Centre's decision to put Musk's Starlink business proposal on hold, Fuke said the government had acted in the interest of national security and the protection of domestic manufacturing and markets.

"The tweets by Elon Musk immediately after Starlink's business proposal was kept on hold, the launch of protests by Rahul Gandhi, Abhijit Dipke and the Thackeray brothers are all interconnected. These leaders are receiving money from Elon Musk," Fuke alleged, without providing evidence to substantiate the claims.

He further accused Rahul Gandhi of acting in the interests of China and foreign industrialists, asserting that India would not yield to international pressure.

Criticising the protests organised by Gandhi and opposition parties seeking the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Fuke alleged that the objective was not to protect the Constitution but to create doubts about it among the public.

He reiterated his claim that an international conspiracy was underway to promote communist ideology in India by undermining the Constitution.

Fuke cited the sequence of protests over the past two months as evidence of what he described as a coordinated effort to create unrest in the country. He referred to the agitation over the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET), protests by the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra, agitations led by Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, and a protest by Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) aspirants initiated by NCP MLA Rohit Pawar.

According to Fuke, the simultaneous nature of these agitations indicated a systematic attempt to destabilise the country. He did not present independent evidence linking the protests to foreign funding.

Fuke also alleged that the Delhi Police had exposed an attempt by Abhijit Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), to create political unrest.

Referring to a video released by the Delhi Police, Fuke claimed that Dipke had been informed about his grandmother's death but had chosen to remain in Delhi. He alleged that the episode had been staged for political purposes to raise questions about democracy and the Constitution.

The allegations made by Fuke were not independently substantiated in the statement.
