BJP criticises Congress following Trump's praise for PM Modi's stance on security
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took a swipe at the Congress party after former US President Donald Trump described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the "nicest human being" and a "total killer" in response to perceived threats.
In a post on its official handle on X, the BJP contrasted Modi’s assertive approach with what it termed the Congress-led UPA’s “insipid response” to the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
“Former American President Donald Trump, in the Flagrant podcast, called PM Modi the nicest human being, but also a total killer. Modi surprised Trump with his strong stance against Pakistan, saying India had defeated them for hundreds of years,” read BJP's statement.
Trump, speaking on the Flagrant podcast hosted by Andrew Schulz and Akash Singh, praised Modi’s leadership and recounted the 2019 "Howdy, Modi" event held in Houston, Texas, which he called a “beautiful gathering” attended by around 80,000 people.
Trump shared that he has a good relationship with PM Modi and commended the Prime Minister's firm approach in dealing with India’s adversaries when needed.
The former US President also recalled a conversation where Modi responded assertively when Trump offered assistance to manage India-Pakistan tensions, saying, “I will handle it and do whatever necessary. We have defeated them for hundreds of years."
Trump's comments further emphasised his admiration for Modi's leadership since taking office in 2014, noting that before then, India faced instability due to frequent changes in leadership.
