New Delhi, July 31 (UNI) Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi today backed US President Donald Trump’s remark calling the Indian economy as “dead”, and said the whole world knows except for the Prime Minister and Finance Minister.
Responding to a media query in the Parliament House complex, about Trump’s “Indian economy is a dead economy” remark, Rahul said, “Yes, he is right. Everybody knows this, except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. I’m glad that President Trump has stated a fact.”
Notably, Trump on his social media platform said that a trade deal with Pakistan had just been concluded and both countries (India and Russia) could take their ‘’dead economies’’ down together.
Gandhi further alleged, “The main issue facing India today is that the government has completely destroyed our economic policy, our defence policy, and our foreign policy. Prime Minister Modi is working for only one person — Adani. Small businesses across the country have been ruined under this government.”
While, accusing the Prime Minister of “destroying the Indian”, the Raebareli MP said that he (Modi) was “running the country into the ground”.
Commenting on the 25 percent tariff and penalty against India announced by Trump, Gandhi claimed, “You will see that this trade deal will happen entirely on Trump’s terms. Modi will simply follow Trump’s instructions”.
“Trump has said multiple times that he negotiated a ceasefire, he’s claimed that five planes were shot down, and now he’s imposing a 25 per cent tariff. Have you asked yourself why Prime Minister Modi is unable to respond?” he said.
