Kejriwal says Trump calling the shots in India
A man named Arvind Kejriwal, who leads a political party in India called the Aam Aadmi Party, is very unhappy with India's leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He says that the leader of the United States, President Donald Trump, is making decisions for India.
This is because the American government made a new rule.
The rule says America can put very high taxes, called tariffs, on products from five countries, including India.
The reason is that these countries buy oil from Russia.
America says buying Russian oil helps pay for a war happening in Ukraine.
Mr. Kejriwal says India is being insulted because of Mr. Modi's choices.
He also says Mr. Modi agrees with everything Mr. Trump says, even when it is wrong.
Mr. Kejriwal shared his opinion on a social media app called X, and people are now talking about this big argument between leaders.
Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal accused PM Narendra Modi of allowing US President Donald Trump's interference in every government decision.
The US Senate passed a bill allowing up to 100 per cent tariffs on five countries, including India, over their purchases of Russian oil.
The US bill says such oil trade helps fuel the Ukraine war.
Kejriwal shared a news post about the bill on X, alleging India has been 'insulted' because of Modi's actions.
Kejriwal claimed Modi agrees with everything Trump says 'whether right or wrong' and that Trump takes decisions against India in every field.
