 Rahul Gandhi Accuses PM Modi of ‘Bargaining Away’ Indian Interests, Questions Foreign Policy

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has leveled serious allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of compromising Indian interests and engaging in superficial diplomatic practices. In a pointed statement posted on the social networking platform X, Gandhi questioned Modi’s foreign policy decisions and criticized the government’s approach to international relations.

Rahul Gandhi raised three fundamental questions for the Prime Minister:

  1. Why did you trust Pakistan’s statement on terrorism?
  2. Why did you bow down to former US President Donald Trump at the expense of Indian interests?
  3. Why does your anger only surface in front of the cameras?

These questions underline Gandhi’s sharp critique of the BJP-led government’s diplomatic strategy, which he claims has tarnished India’s reputation on the global stage. According to Gandhi, the government relies heavily on hollow rhetoric and unnecessary diplomatic visits, which serve more as distractions or ‘weapons of mass destruction’ to divert public attention from real issues and failures.

This criticism comes amid heightened political tensions following the recent Operation Sindoor, which the Congress had initially supported. However, since the ceasefire, opposition voices have grown louder in their criticism of the Modi government, with Gandhi’s latest statements adding fuel to the ongoing political debate in India.

The Congress leader’s comments are likely to provoke further discussion on the government’s foreign policy effectiveness and raise questions about India’s diplomatic posture amid complex regional and global dynamics.
