TN Congress president K.S. Alagiri claims PM Modi is praised by Western countries due to business deals, but BJP cadre creates illusion of his influence. He condemns Modi's actions, saying it won't help India's development or self-reliance.
Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri on Thursday said the Western world was praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, because he gives them business.
In a statement, he pointed out that under PM Modi, India has signed collaboration pacts with countries including the United States, Russia and France for various projects. Because of these business deals, those countries call and praise Mr. Modi, he said, but the BJP cadre created the illusion that Mr. Modi has influence in these countries.
This would not help in India’s development or in its achieving self-reliance, he noted and condemned Mr. Modi’s actions.
