Rahul Gandhi backs Trump's claim of India's "dead" economy, amid new US tariffs and economic growth forecasts.

Rahul Gandhi, a Congress MP, endorsed US President Donald Trump's claim that the Indian economy is "dead," criticizing the Modi government for economic mismanagement. Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Indian imports, citing India's trade with Russia. Despite Gandhi's criticism, international agencies project India as the world's fastest-growing major economy, with a predicted 6.4% growth in 2025 and 2026. The Indian stock market indices, however, fell following the tariff announcement.
