Udit Raj Criticizes Government Over US Policy Impact on India’s Economy

By A Staff Reporter

New Delhi: Congress leader Udit Raj on Thursday criticized the government’s foreign policy, alleging that United States actions are adversely affecting India’s economy and employment situation.

Reacting to recent remarks by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Raj said India’s export sectors were facing significant challenges. “America is paralysing India. Exports of jewellery, textiles and fisheries are getting affected. Unemployment is on the rise. H1B visa is also going to get cancelled. America is very strict with India,” he said.

The Congress leader argued that these developments highlight weaknesses in India’s foreign policy approach. “Foreign policy has been totally ruined. We should see the reality on the ground,” he added.

Raj’s statement reflects growing political criticism of the government’s handling of international economic relations, particularly with the United States, one of India’s largest trading partners.
