"Trump tried to humiliate India over tariffs, but this government is so shameless that, before leaving for the US, it reduced duties on Harley-Davidson and Tesla," he further said.
'Economy is in Shambles'
Kumar further alleged: "The economy is in shambles under the Modi Governement. The stock market is in bad shape. Retaliotary tariffs will lead to decline in GDP and worsen the country's economic condition."
"American businessman Elon Musk has called the F-35 a substandard aircraft. But PM has not yet rejected the deal. The Modi government has not even stated that it will consult defence experts before making a decision. The F-35 is not in the country's best interest,"
