AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of being subservient to US President Donald Trump. Speaking in Chittapur, he criticized the Modi government's handling of foreign policy, particularly in light of escalating tensions in the Middle East.

Kharge alleged that India's trade deal with the US undermines Indian farmers while benefiting American interests. He expressed concern over India's energy purchase decisions being influenced by the US, which he believes threatens India's autonomy and sovereignty.

The Congress leader also criticized Modi's focus on election campaigning over governing, suggesting that his foreign policy decisions lack courage and consistency compared to past Congress leadership. Kharge insisted that true independence means resisting foreign pressure and prioritizing national interests.
