<h1>Congress Challenges BJP Over Claims of Foreign Interference in USAID Projects; Calls for Government Accountability</h1> The Congress criticized the BJP following a finance ministry report stating that USAID's projects in India are unrelated to voter turnout, countering claims of foreign interference. The report revealed USAID's collaboration on seven projects with a total budget of USD 750 million, focusing on agriculture, water, renewable energy, disaster management, and health. The BJP denied Congress's allegations, accusing them of foreign collusion. A controversy arose after claims that a USD 21 million grant was canceled to boost voter turnout, which both US and Indian officials are investigating. Congress accused the BJP of spreading misinformation and demanded accountability from the government.
