Tensions With the United States Grow

Back home, Congress Party leader Rahul Gandhi has strongly criticized Prime Minister Modi for his silence on Trump’s actions. Gandhi accused Modi of failing to stand up to Washington’s aggressive stance, especially after Trump’s recent threats.

He further suggested a link between Modi’s inaction and ongoing US investigations against the Adani Group, a major business conglomerate with alleged ties to the Modi government. “Modi, Adani, and Russian oil deals might be financially connected, and that’s why the PM remains silent,” Gandhi stated.

This is the first time Rahul Gandhi has directly connected US tariff threats with the Adani Group, intensifying the political debate within India.
