Rahul Gandhi Reignites “Dead Economy” Debate, Dividing Congress

Rahul Gandhi has once again criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s economic policies, echoing Donald Trump’s controversial “dead economy” label. This stance has, however, sparked internal debate within the Congress party, with prominent figures expressing differing views.

Disagreement Within Congress Ranks

While Gandhi reiterated his concerns about the state of the Indian economy, senior Congress leaders Shashi Tharoor and Rajiv Shukla have publicly disagreed with his assessment. They defended the nation’s economic performance, highlighting positive indicators and government initiatives.

Tharoor and Shukla Offer Counterarguments

Both Tharoor and Shukla presented data and arguments to counter the “dead economy” narrative. Their interventions underscore the complex and nuanced discussions surrounding India’s economic trajectory within the Congress party itself.
