New Delhi: BJP leader Amit Malviya on Thursday hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after the latter claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was “frightened” of former US President Donald Trump. Malviya argued that Trump’s repeated public praise of Modi disproves any notion of fear or subservience.

“If Prime Minister Modi were afraid of Donald Trump, then Trump wouldn’t be publicly saying ‘Modi is a great man’ every few days just to get his attention,” Malviya posted on X.

Turning the tables, he criticized Rahul Gandhi for failing to understand India-first priorities, citing the Congress party’s historical record. “You assume, as your family did, that every Prime Minister compromises India’s interests to please foreign powers. But wake up. This is Modi’s India, not Rajiv’s, where India’s interests are never up for barter,” Malviya added.

Malviya also recalled key historical decisions to underscore his point. He accused Jawaharlal Nehru of compromising India’s recognition of Tibet, which brought China to India’s doorstep, and claimed former PM Indira Gandhi had backed out of a joint Israeli proposal in 1983 to strike Pakistan’s nuclear facilities. “Within a few years, Pakistan had the bomb, and ever since, it has bled India through cross-border terrorism under nuclear blackmail,” he said.

Further, Malviya alleged that Rajiv Gandhi ensured the main accused in the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy was flown out of India, questioning whether this was done under foreign pressure.
