BJP leader blames Trump for Ahilyanagar road delay
A leader from a political party in India said that the President of the United States is causing problems far away in India.
This leader thinks that because the US President keeps changing his mind about wars and missiles, it confuses people.
He says this confusion makes some people in India drink more alcohol.
He also thinks that attacks on a country called Iran made oil harder to get, which slowed down building a road.
The road is between two places in India called Ahilyanagar and Manmad.
The leader's name is Sujay Vikhe-Patil, and his father is also a government minister.
Not everyone may agree with what this leader said, but he shared his opinion on a Sunday.
This shows how events in one country can affect another country.
BJP Maharashtra vice-president Sujay Vikhe-Patil blamed US President Donald Trump for delays in Ahilyanagar-Manmad Road construction.
Vikhe-Patil claimed attacks on Iran impacted crude oil supply, causing the road work delay.
He alleged Trump's shifting stances on war and missile attacks caused confusion in India.
Vikhe-Patil claimed alcohol consumption in India increased due to Trump's war tactics.
Sujay Vikhe-Patil is the son of Maharashtra Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil.

““This man (Trump) says one thing at night, another in the morning, and something entirely different the next day. Trump sometimes claims the war is over, and immediately the next day takes a stance on missile attacks. These shifting stances are affecting some people in India as well. Due to the confusion caused by Trump’s actions, the amount of alcohol consumed by certain people has increased.””
