Congress has asked the Modi government to clarify former US President Donald Trump’s claim that $21 million in USAID funds were sent to India for voter turnout. Congress leader Pawan Khera said fact-checks showed the funds were for Bangladesh, not India. He accused the BJP of misleading people and questioned why the government had not explained USAID’s financial support. Congress also pointed out that USAID funds have been used for major government projects like Digital India. Meanwhile, the BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of working with foreign powers to weaken the government. The issue remains a topic of debate.
