Rahul Gandhi Agrees with Trump: Indian Economy 'Dead,' Slams Modi's Policies

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday concurred with US President Donald Trump's declaration that the Indian economy is 'dead,' expressing satisfaction that Trump acknowledged this as fact. Speaking to the press, Gandhi asserted that the global community is aware of the economy's status, except for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

Gandhi further questioned Modi's reactions to Trump's remarks, which included claims of mediating between India and Pakistan and recent tariffs imposed by the US. The Congress leader specifically inquired about Modi's failure to address these issues decisively.

Gandhi criticized India's external affairs, noting that US tariffs and global perceptions suggest confusion in India's foreign policy. He accused the BJP government of undermining India's economic and defense policies and predicted that Modi would acquiesce to Trump in trade discussions.
