📰 "Indian Economy Declared ‘Dead’ by Rahul Gandhi! 😲 Modi & Sitharaman Under Fire!"

TL;DR: Rahul Gandhi today backed Donald Trump’s claim that India is a “dead economy,” accusing the Modi government of wrecking the nation’s economy, MSMEs, farmers and foreign policy to benefit corporate cronyism—especially Adani. The BJP slammed him for insulting hardworking Indians, while a senior Congress MP pushed back internally. The clash comes amid escalating trade tensions with the US tied to a new 25% tariff.

🔥 Breaking: Rahul Gandhi Backs Trump’s ‘Dead Economy’ Claim

Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi echoed former US President Donald Trump, calling the Indian economy “dead”—a statement he says everyone believes, except PM Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Speaking at Parliament, Gandhi alleged that BJP‑led rule has dismantled India’s economic, defence and foreign policy frameworks to benefit billionaire Gautam Adani.

He added that upcoming trade deals with the US will be defined by Trump, and Modi will merely follow instructions. Rahul’s remarks came shortly after Trump slapped India with a 25% import tariff and labeled India and Russia “dead economies”.

🧨 Parliamentary Showdowns & Global Diplomacy Drama

In the Lok Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor (India's response to the Pahalgam terror attack), Gandhi slammed the government for lacking “political will” and tied the Indian forces’ hands, suggesting the operation was staged to protect Modi’s image. He warned of a dangerous new China–Pakistan axis and alleged jet losses during the operation—urging Modi to show “half of Indira’s courage” in Parliament.

Gandhi’s frustration peaked when he sighed dramatically and thumped the table in the House—only to be lightly reprimanded by Speaker Om Birla over potential destruction of property.

🚨 Congress in Internal Conflict

Not everyone in Rahul’s party agreed with his remarks. Senior Congress MP Rajeev Shukla publicly rejected Trump’s “dead economy” claim, stating India remains resilient and condemning Rahul’s comments as self‑destructive for the party’s credibility.

This public split highlights growing tensions within INC, even as they mobilise criticism of policies favouring billionaires at the expense of the masses.

📊 Key Allegations by Rahul Gandhi

  1. “Economic collapse”: MSMEs wiped out, farmers crushed, jobless youth.

  2. Crony capitalism: Govt policy designed for few giants like #Adani.

  3. Policy failures: Demonetisation, GST, and failed 'Assemble in India'.

  4. Foreign policy flop: No country condemns Pakistan; diplomacy reduced to spectacle.

  5. Trade dependency: US tariffs expose vulnerability, future deals likely dictated by Washington.

🎯 BJP Pushback: ‘Insult to 140 Crore Indians’

The BJP responded sharply. IT cell chief Amit Malviya stated Rahul’s comment is a “shameful insult” to the 140 crore hardworking Indians, arguing India is a “surging, resilient” economy—not a dead one.

BJP also emphasised rising GDP numbers, falling inflation, export growth and global confidence in India’s markets.

📍 Why It Matters

  • Trade fallout: New US tariffs hit exporters hard; with a global economy in flux, India’s foreign policy and economy are under pressure.

  • Political messaging: Rahul’s echo of Trump gives BJP fuel to depict INC as unpatriotic.

  • Youth & rural alert: With jobs and farmer distress at centre stage, working‑class voters will see this as either validation or defamation.

📝 MediaFx People’s Take

From the people's point of view: Rahul is speaking the truth of the toiling majority—those resisting hunger, joblessness and #CronyDeals. The economic downturn is felt by the daily wage worker, the small trader and the #youth seeking fair opportunities.

Policy decisions must prioritise #PublicWelfare over billionaire favours. We stand with peace, equality and economic justice—a vision where trade deals serve citizens, foreign trips defend national dignity, and policies uplift all classes, not just a few.
