New Delhi. US President Donald Trump made a comment against India, calling our country’s economy dead. Not only this, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi supported Donald Trump instead of criticizing him and said that except the Prime Minister and Finance Minister, everyone knows this. Rahul Gandhi gave this statement but in this case his party’s opinion of senior Congress leader Rajiv Shukla is different from this. At the same time, Congress ally in India alliance, Shiv Sena UBT has also shown Trump for his statement.

Congress Rajya Sabha MP Rajiv Shukla said on the statement of US President Donald Trump, “Our economic situation is not weak.” If someone says that he will eliminate us financially, then he is his misunderstanding. Trump is living in misunderstanding. Along with this, he also criticized Trump for imposing 25 percent tariff on India. Earlier, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor also said in clear terms that India is the fastest growing economy in the world.
Not that one needs to say it there’s enough legitimate data available to know that Indian economy is in the top 5 of the world and one of the fastest growing economies. Calling it a dead economy can only come from a position of arrogance or ignorance. Thank you for your attention…

On the other hand, Uddhav Thackeray’s party Shiv Sena UBT Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said on Trump’s statement, there is no need to say that the Indian economy is among the top five economies in the world and is one of the fastest growing economies. Adequate valid figures are also available to prove this. Calling the Indian economy dead can only come from a state of ego or ignorance. Thanks for paying attention to this matter. Priyanka wrote on her social media post, India have economic challenges, but economic challenges are not the same as a dead economy. This is a ‘unexpected’ statement given to compromise with India clearly.
