Despite repeated snubs, PM Modi continues to send congratulatory messages to Trump, Gandhi claimed in a post on X.
The cancellation of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s visit to the US is another example of PM Modi’s fear, according to Gandhi.
Gandhi pointed out that PM Modi skipped the Sharm el-Sheikh summit, further indicating his fear of Trump.
He further criticized PM Modi for not contradicting Trump on Operation Sindoor, a sensitive issue related to India, accusing the Prime Minister of failing to defend the country’s position.
Rahul Gandhi’s remarks highlight the ongoing debate about India’s relations with the US under the Modi government. As the political landscape continues to evolve, Gandhi’s comments are likely to spark further discussion and scrutiny of the government’s foreign policy decisions. END
