Return to your 'I hate India' tour: US singer trolls Rahul Gandhi over his 'Modi frightened of Trump' remark

Rahul on Thursday jibed Modi after Trump had claimed the Indian PM promised him to stop buying oil from Russia.

The Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition wrote on X, "PM Modi is frightened of Trump. 1. Allows Trump to decide and announce that India will not buy Russian oil. 2. Keeps sending congratulatory messages despite repeated snubs. 3. Canceled the Finance Minister’s visit to America. 4. Skipped Sharm el-Sheikh. 5. Doesn’t contradict him on Operation Sindoor."

In response, Milliben said Rahul won't understand Modi's leadership as the Congress leader lacks the "acumen" to become the PM. 

The African-American singer wrote on X, "You are wrong, @RahulGandhi. PM @narendramodi is not afraid of President Trump. PM Modi understands the long game and his diplomacy with the U.S. is strategic. Just as @POTUS will always put America’s interests first, so will PM Modi do what is best for India. And I applaud that. That’s what Heads of State do. They do and say what is best for their country.

"I don’t expect you to understand this type of leadership because you don’t possess the acumen to be PM of India. Best to return to your “I hate India” tour that has an audience of one - you."

What did Trump claim?

Speaking at a press conference, Trump lauded Modi's long term as the PM contrary to his predecessors before claiming India will suspend buying energy from its all-weather friend Russia.

Trump said, "He has assured me that there will be no oil purchase from Russia. I don't know, maybe that's a breaking story... He's not buying his oil from Russia, it's started.. We can do it immediately but it's a little bit of a process which is going to be over soon and all we want from President Putin is to stop killing Ukrainians and Russians because he is killing a lot of Russians."

"If India doesn't buy oil, it makes it much easier and they have assured me that they will not be buying oil from Russia within a short period of time and they will go back to Russia after the war is over," the President added.

India rejects US Prez's 'Russian oil' promise claim

India has categorically rejected Trump's claim that Modi promised him to stop buying oil from Russia, stating no telephonic conversation was held between the two global leaders.

In a weekly press briefing, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, "On the question of whether there was a conversation or a telephone call between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump, I am not aware of any conversation yesterday between the two leaders."
