SS: US President Donald Trump’s remark that his country spent $21m to boost voter turnout in India’s elections has triggered a political slugfest in the country.
He made the remark days after a team led by Elon Musk said it had cancelled the payout as part of its crackdown on a US agency providing foreign aid.
India’s governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) called the payout an „external interference“ and accused the opposition Congress party of seeking this intervention.
The Congress denied the allegation, calling Trump’s claims „nonsensical“. The US has not provided any evidence to support its claim.
The latest comments came a week after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first Washington visit under Trump’s second term, where Trump announced expanded military sales, increased energy exports and plans for a trade deal and new defence framework.
„I guess they were trying to get somebody else elected. We have got to tell the Indian government,“ the US president said at a summit in Miami.
Hasn’t it already been confirmed that the 21 million was for Bangladesh?
And using points brought up by another commenter:
If the election result could be changed by a mere 21 million dollars, a couple hundred would be enough to tear the country apart. That would be a security threat and it’d be the government’s incompetence to not notice this given that EVERY country is involved in election interference to get a result favorable to them.
