Samajwadi Party Member of Parliament Ram Gopal Yadav on Friday sided with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, approving his critical view of the Indian economy. Yadav, speaking in New Delhi, described the economic situation as 'very bad,' emphasizing the stark contrast between the urban and rural economic conditions.
Gandhi's remarks were in response to US President Donald Trump's assertion that the Indian economy is 'dead.' Gandhi expressed agreement, noting he was 'glad' the US President recognized what he claims is a global understanding. He criticized the Indian administration for failing to acknowledge the economy's dire state.
The controversy follows Trump's recent announcement of imposing 25 percent tariffs on India, along with penalties related to Russian oil imports. Trump's comments on social media described India's economic measures as excessively high, contributing to strained trade relations. Meanwhile, Gandhi accused the BJP of economic mismanagement aimed at benefitting select conglomerates.
