Gowda Slams Trump, Targets Opposition over India Economy Remarks
Former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda on Friday launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump for his recent comments on the Indian economy. Gowda termed Trump’s remarks as “baseless” and reflective of a “short-tempered” mindset.
He further criticized certain opposition leaders, without naming them directly but clearly alluding to Rahul Gandhi, for echoing Trump’s assertions. Gowda accused them of undermining India’s economic progress.
The Janata Dal (Secular) leader lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government for its robust defence of India’s economic interests against such unwarranted criticism. He praised the government’s proactive approach in countering these negative narratives.
Gowda’s statement comes at a time when India’s economic performance is under global scrutiny. His sharp criticism highlights the deep divisions within Indian politics on how to best present the nation’s economic narrative on the world stage. The ongoing debate underscores the importance of a unified national approach to counter any external attempts to undermine India’s economic standing.
