In a sharp retort to former President Donald Trump's accusations of India's economy being 'dead,' Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi emphasized that the Indian economy is among the world's top five and one of the fastest growing global economies.
Trump's criticism followed his announcement of a 25 percent tariff on India, citing high tariffs as a reason for limited business with the country. Trump's remarks also targeted India's relationship with Russia, suggesting both nations have faltering economies.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi seized the moment to criticize the ruling BJP government, alleging its harmful impact on India's economic policies. He contended that everyone except Prime Minister Modi and Finance Minister Sitharaman recognizes the economy's struggles.
