Rahul Gandhi has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "hugplomacy" with former U.S. President Donald Trump, asserting that such gestures won't mitigate the economic repercussions of U.S. tariffs on India. In a conversation with Delhi Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit, Gandhi highlighted issues like high unemployment, economic system failures, and societal disharmony. He emphasized that the U.S. tariffs will have significant economic consequences, which symbolic acts cannot resolve. Gandhi also drew parallels between the current economic scenario and the colonial era, suggesting that the alliance between the British and Indian Maharajas then is akin to the present relationships between the government and major industrialists like Adani and Ambani.
