Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday backed US President Donald Trump's remarks on the Indian economy, saying that except Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman know that India is a "dead economy." He also alleged that the BJP-led government has destroyed India's economic, defence, and foreign policies.
Rahul Gandhi's remarks came after US President Donald Trump announced the imposition of 25 per cent tariffs and penalties on India and called India and Russia "dead economies".
