Rahul Gandhi's remarks on U.S. tariffs expose his 'anti-India' mindset: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday (August 1, 2025) said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remark on the U.S. tariffs has exposed his ''anti-India'' mindset.

''When Prime Minister Narendra Modi is conducting everything so gracefully and talking with various countries on equal terms, Mr. Gandhi is defaming our country'', the Chief Minister said at a press conference in Guwahati.

Mr. Gandhi on Wednesday (July 30, 2025) said U.S. President Donald Trump was right in calling the Indian economy ‘dead’, and alleged that "everyone but the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister" avoids speaking about it.

The Congress leader also criticised the government for maintaining silence over the 25% tariffs and penalties imposed by the United States, effective from August 1, 2025. Mr. Sarma alleged that over the last seven days, Mr. Gandhi had been ''badly exposed.'' ''Initially, people thought that he was anti-BJP, but now they have realised that Rahul Gandhi is anti-India,', the Chief Minister claimed.
