PM has decided to prostrate before Trump: LoP
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of prostrating before US President Donald Trump and imposing a fee on UPI payments, demanding the government rollback the decision. Gandhi's video on X urged Modi to stop lying down in front of the US, have a spine, and revert the UPI tax. The government introduced a 0.4 percent fee on transfers exceeding Rs 2,000 made through UPI from October 15, exempting personal transactions and small payments.
Gandhi criticized Modi's action, comparing him to a spineless figure who has put a tax on every Indian and given money to the United States. The BJP responded by accusing Congress of spreading fake news and stated that the government had made it clear that MDR charges wouldn't be levied on consumers.
