Telangana BJP's Ram Chander Rao supports PM Modi's call for self-reliance following US imposition of a $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, citing a targeted approach towards India's economy and workforce. Rao urges Indian youth to contribute to building a self-reliant nation amidst changing global dynamics.

Telangana BJP chief Ram Chander Rao voiced strong support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's self-reliance initiative after US President Trump's Executive Order raised H-1B visa sponsorship fees to $100,000, aiming to curb programme abuse.

Rao suggested the move targeted India's thriving economy and advocated for a self-sufficient India, emphasizing the need for national strength.

He urged the youth to engage in Modi's vision for a new India, highlighting global changes. H-1B visas, predominantly granted to Indian IT professionals, were scrutinized amid rising US application numbers.
