Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav targeted the Center on Saturday as the Trump administration imposed an annual fee of $ 100,000 for H -1B visas and called foreign policy “weak”. Addressing a press conference, Akhilesh Yadav questioned the central government’s preparation to deal with America, as it is likely to affect the IT and technology sector.
He said, “Investment increased in Uttar Pradesh; Infosys, Samsung and other companies (in Uttar Pradesh) came. This is not the first time America has treated like this. Our foreign policy is weak. What is our preparation if other countries do the same?”
In addition, he claimed that India is dependent on other countries for other goods including oil, and many mistakes in handling the economy. “Other mistakes are happening after the WTO, due to which we are not looking financially strong.” We said, “We are dependent on other countries for everything including oil.

This criticism of Akhilesh came at a time when the US President released a new President’s announcement titled “Banning on Entry of Non-resident workers” on Friday (local time), with major changes in the H-1B visa program, and H-1B visa applications have been levied an annual fee of US $ 100,000. This raises the question whether it is a very important improvement or a possible shock for the US technical talent pipeline.
The move is likely to affect Indians seeking jobs in technology and IT sector in the US, and the opposition has strongly criticized it. Earlier, Congress leader Pawan Kheda criticized PM Modi’s silence on the issue and claimed that US President Donald Trump insults India every day.

The Congress leader also claimed that if the Prime Minister announced in the House that Trump was false, the whole country supported him. If they had said so, the country would have been questioning the Prime Minister.
He said that Rahul Gandhi had warned PM Modi about an order like potential H-1B in 2017, but PM Modi did nothing. Khera said, “This is not new. On 5 July 2017, Rahul Gandhi tweeted and warned Prime Minister Modi that this is going to happen and he should do something. But he was still weak Prime Minister and he is still in front of you. The result is still in front of you … The result of the country is still …
Meanwhile, the revised visa fee is going to be implemented from September 21. The announcement is one of the most aggressive efforts of the Trump administration so far for radical changes in the H-1B visa program.
