"Yes, He Is Right”: Rahul Gandhi Backs Trump’s ‘Dead Economy’ Remark on India
Rahul Gandhi Backs Trump’s ‘Dead Economy’ Remark Latest News: Leader of Opposition (Lok Sabha) and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday backed the “dead economy” remark made by US President Donald Trump about India, and alleged, “The BJP has destroyed the economy to help Adani.”
Speaking to the media outside Parliament, Rahul Gandhi said, "Yes, he is right. Everybody knows this—except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. Everybody knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. I’m glad that President Trump has stated this fact. The entire world knows it. The BJP has finished the economy to benefit Adani."
Criticizing the government's foreign policy, Gandhi said, "The Foreign Minister gives a speech and claims we have a 'genius foreign policy.' On one hand, America is abusing us; on the other hand, China is threatening us. When you send your delegation abroad, not a single country condemns Pakistan. How are they running this country? There is total confusion.”
Rahul Gandhi also criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not taking anyone's name during the debate on Operation Sindoor.
“In his speech, the Prime Minister did not mention Trump, China... The Pakistani military chief who orchestrated the Pahalgam attack—President Trump is having lunch with him—and yet they claim it was a huge success.”
He further questioned Modi’s silence on Trump’s repeated claims of mediating between India and Pakistan during the recent conflict following the Pahalgam terror attack.
“The main question is: Trump has claimed 30 to 32 times that he mediated a ceasefire. He also said that five Indian jets were shot down. Now, Trump says he will impose 25% tariffs. Why is PM Modi unable to respond? What is the real reason? Who actually has control?”
Gandhi remarked, “PM Modi works only for one person—Adani. This India-US trade deal will happen, and PM Modi will do exactly what Trump demands. The core issues India faces today are that this government has destroyed our economic, defence, and foreign policy. They are running this country into the ground.”
Today on 31 July, US President Donald Trump, in his harshest remarks yet about India, called the Indian economy “dead” and said he doesn’t care what India does with Russia.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India—their tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world.”
These remarks came just a day after he called India a “friend” in another post, while simultaneously criticizing India for purchasing the “vast majority” of its military equipment from Russia. He said India is “Russia’s largest buyer of energy.”
He added, “INDIA WILL THEREFORE BE PAYING A TARIFF OF 25%, PLUS A PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE, STARTING ON AUGUST FIRST.”
In a separate post earlier on Thursday, July 31, Trump announced, “The US has concluded a deal with Pakistan, whereby Pakistan and the United States will work together on developing their massive oil reserves. We are in the process of choosing the oil company that will lead this partnership. Who knows—maybe they’ll be selling oil to India someday!”
