Rahul Gandhi says President TRUMP hurting Indian Interests. Then why is his government in Telangana giving the ultimate tribute to him by renaming a road after him?" Poonawalla wrote on X. He also took a swipe at chief minister Revanth Reddy, alleging that the Telangana leader had previously disregarded Rahul Gandhi's criticism of the Adani Group."So Revanth Reddy basically doesn't take Rahul Baba seriously? He did the same when Rahul was chanting Adani Adani... He went and did an MoU with Adani group," Poonawalla said. BJP leaders cited Rahul Gandhi's past criticism of US President Donald Trump and the India-US trade deal to question the Telangana government's decision.Earlier this year, Gandhi had attacked the Centre over the trade agreement, alleging that the Narendra Modi government had compromised national interests and conceded too much in negotiations with the Trump administration. He also urged the US to "talk to us as equals" and accused the government of failing to adequately protect India's economic interests in the deal.(With inputs from PTI)
