US President Donald Trump recently criticized the $21 million USAID fund allocated to India for 'voter turnout,' calling it a "kickback scheme" during a meeting with the Republican Governors Association. Trump questioned why taxpayer money was spent on India's election turnout, suggesting that the funds were misused. His remarks have sparked a political firestorm in India, with BJP officials accusing the money of supporting "deep-state assets," while Congress questioned the Modi government's handling of foreign aid. This controversy has reignited tensions between the BJP and Congress.
