The party has hot out, accusing him of besmirching India on foreign soil again.
This time, Mr Gandhi had spoken of India's caste and education system. But what infuriated the BJP the most appeared to be his allegations that independent thinking in the country is under attack.
While interacting with students at the University of Chile, Rahul Gandhi said, "There are tremendous attacks on independent thinking, scientific thought, and rationality in India."
"Rahul Gandhi is not leader of the opposition. He is the leader of propaganda, of hypocrisy. He goes abroad and talks against India's constitutional bodies, India's democratic system, India's judiciary, and India's sovereignty -- this has become his habit," said Shehzad Poonawalla, the former Congress leader who is now the BJP's spokesperson
"Rahul Gandhi says he is fighting against the Indian state. From opposing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he is now into spreading lies against India. He says there is no space for free thinking. That happens in your party. If someone speaks against Rahul Gandhi, what happens? Look At Shashi Tharoor. He was made an example of because he championed the cause of the country and its armed forces," he added.
Gandhi has recently returned from a trip to South American countries. A video of his interaction at the university was shared on his social media account.
