Jindal Slams Trump’s “Dead Economy” Remark: India’s Rise Defies Gloom
BJP MP Naveen Jindal has strongly refuted former US President Donald Trump’s characterisation of the Indian economy as “dead”. Jindal’s rebuttal came on August 3, 2025.
He pointed to India’s robust economic growth trajectory, contrasting it sharply with the performance of several major global economies. This growth, he argued, is evident across multiple sectors.
The MP cited India’s ambitious space programme, including recent lunar missions, as a symbol of national progress and technological advancement.
Furthermore, Jindal highlighted the significant strides made in manufacturing, digital infrastructure development, and the burgeoning startup ecosystem.
He emphasized India’s commitment to international collaboration and strategic partnerships, portraying the nation as a responsible global player.
Jindal’s counter-narrative is significant given the global economic uncertainty and the increasing prominence of India on the world stage. It underscores the government’s efforts to project a positive image of the nation’s economic strength amidst global headwinds.
