Gandhi’s “Dead Economy” Remark Sparks Political Firestorm
Rahul Gandhi’s stark assessment of the Indian economy as “dead,” mirroring a past critique by Donald Trump, has ignited a furious political backlash. The statement, made on July 31, 2025, drew immediate condemnation from the BJP.
The ruling party accused Gandhi of echoing foreign narratives and deliberately undermining India’s economic progress. They labelled his comments as irresponsible and harmful to national interests.
Gandhi, however, doubled down on his criticism, blaming the Modi government for alleged economic mismanagement. He pointed fingers at policies favouring the Adani group and a broader failure of economic strategy.
The ensuing political sparring highlights deep divisions over the state of the Indian economy. With elections looming, this clash of narratives is set to dominate the national discourse and profoundly impact voter sentiment.
