‘Reason he can’t stand up to Trump is …’: Rahul’s fresh charge at PM; claims ‘Modi’s hands are tied’ | India News

NEW DELHI: Congress MP and leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Wednesday took a swipe at PM Modi for his silence over US President Donald Trump‘s latest tariff threat. In a sharp attack, Gandhi said that PM Modi can’t take a stand against Trump despite his repeated tariff threats because of the “US investigation into Adani.” In a post on X, the Congress leader said, “India please understand: The reason PM Modi cannot stand up to President Trump despite his repeated threats is the ongoing US investigation into Adani.” “One threat is to expose the financial links between Modi, AA, and Russian oil deals,” he said, adding, “Modi’s hands are tied.”Opposition has been repeatedly attacking PM Modi and BJP government over Trump’s 25 per cent tariff on India and a penalty charge for business with Russia. The criticism escalated after Trump again threatened a substantial hike in tariffs on India if it doesn’t stop buying oil from Russia.
