Union Minister Pralhad Joshi responded to criticism regarding the proposed India-US trade agreement by targeting Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, accusing him of depleting the state treasury. Joshi highlighted that the Congress-led government not only drained Karnataka’s once robust finances but also hindered overall progress and investor trust. He called on the Chief Minister to explain the situation.
Joshi emphasized that the Congress party should focus on India’s national interest before lecturing others. Referring to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, he criticized the Congress for its silence during the crisis. Joshi also alleged that senior Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, engaged in undisclosed meetings with Chinese officials during military confrontations with the People’s Liberation Army.
Accusing the Congress of weakening India’s policies and global standing for short-term political gains, Joshi defended Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership in global negotiations. He condemned Congress MPs for displaying offensive posters against the Prime Minister in Parliament, labeling it as a deliberate provocation that undermined parliamentary dignity.
