BJP MP from Karnataka
“When Mr Trump started a tariff war and called India a 'dead economy', the first person who rushed to endorse it was Rahul Gandhi. His minions in the Congress repeated after him. Whenever he has gone abroad, he has spoken ill of India and Indian business. Now, without batting an eyelid they claim credit for Foxconn’s investment and job-creation in Karnataka.”

“If the NDA government under Prime Minister Modi had not worked meticulously in the last 12 years to create a positive investment climate, maintain fiscal discipline and a high rate of economic growth, would any multinational company even consider any investment in India?”
