The controversy over USAID’s role in India erupted after the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claimed it had cancelled a $21 million grant meant to increase voter turnout in India. US President Donald Trump also alleged that the previous Joe Biden administration had allocated $21 million to India for voter turnout efforts.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Saturday described the information released by the Trump administration as “concerning” and stated that the government is looking into the matter. “The USAID was allowed in India in good faith, to do good faith activities,” he said, adding that reports from the US suggesting otherwise raise serious concerns.
Meanwhile, the Congress party on Sunday accused the BJP of engaging in “anti-national work” by spreading “fake news from America.” Congress general secretary in-charge Jairam Ramesh said, “BJP is a procession of liars and illiterates. The news about USD 21 million, on which the BJP and their bootlickers were jumping on, turned out to be fake. The USD 21 million in 2022 was not for ‘voter turnout’ in India, but for Bangladesh.”Congress also questioned why Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar remained silent while US President Trump and Elon Musk repeatedly made statements “insulting” India.(With PTI inputs)
