India-US trade deal talks almost at the finishing line: says Jaishankar at HTLS

What's behind this

At the Bharat Summit 2026 in Hyderabad, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP. He claimed that democracy in India was attacked and effectively destroyed since 2014, alleging that political and business interests have become intertwined and that the country is no longer a democracy under the BJP‑led regime. Gandhi questioned the legitimacy of elections and expressed confidence that defeating Modi was an already‑done deal. The speech was delivered on Saturday and drew attention for its strong criticism of the ruling establishment.
