Additionally, Donald Trump had alluded to USAID's purported meddling in the Indian election.
The $21 million fund for "voter turnout" in India has been canceled, and US President Donald Trump has once again attacked it, calling it a "kickback scheme."He remarked, "21 million for voter turnout in India," at a Republican Governors Association gathering in Washington, DC. Why does the turnout in India matter to us? We already have enough issues. We desire our own attendance.
"Can you believe that India will receive so much money? When they receive it, I wonder what they think. The scheme is a kickback. They don't actually spend it. Trump stated at the NBC News-televised speech, "They kick it back to the people that I would say in many cases."
"I would say that in a lot of these situations, whenever you don't know what we're talking about, there's probably a kickback going on because no one knows what's going on. USD 29 million to improve Bangladesh's political climate. The definition of "political landscape" is unknown. What does that signify? The president of the United States added.
In a list of US taxpayer-funded projects that have been canceled, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) mentioned USD 21 million designated for "voter turnout in India."
According to DOGE's statement, "US taxpayer dollars were going to be spent on the following items, all of which have been cancelled," specifically mentioning the $21 million designated for "voter turnout in India."
Trump alluded to USAID's purported meddling in India's elections on Thursday. Why is it necessary to spend $21 million on Indian voter turnout? I suppose their goal was to elect someone else. We must inform the Indian government. He declared, "This is a complete breakthrough."
Cong vs. BJP slugfest
A new political slugfest broke out in India as a result of Trump's latest insult. According to Amit Malviya, head of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) IT cell, the aforementioned funds are used to "sustain deep-state assets" in India "who work to defend and deflect such revelations."
"US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed the accusation a day after discussing $21 million being given to India to increase poll turnout.Furthermore, he is not equating it with the $29 million that was transferred to Bangladesh. He has also brought up kickbacks this time. In essence, deep-state assets that seek to thwart and evade such disclosures are likewise supported by this funding. The same scenario is also playing out in India," Malviya continued.
"A story has been circulating for the past week that USAID gave $21 million to destabilize the Narendra Modi government," retorted Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera. It is disheartening if the Modi government permitted 21 million dollars to enter India in spite of having numerous security agencies. When questioned about this, the Modi administration responded that the funds originated in 2012, during the UPA.Did the BJP use this money to win in 2014 in such a scenario?
