The development comes after the Congress began a targetted attack on the prime minister over his ‘Chowkidar‘ image, with party president Rahul Gandhi repeatedly mocking the title saying ‘Chowkidar Chor Hai (Watchman is a thief)’. Gandhi has been using the phrase to attack PM Modi over allegations of wrongdoing in the Rafale deal with France. On Saturday, while addressing a rally in Dehradun, Rahul said that he had posed four questions to the prime minister in Parliament on the Rafale deal but he didn’t even answer one of them. “The prime minister delivered a long speech lasting one-and-a-half hours, but failed to answer even one of my questions. All he did was keep looking up, down and sideways. Why? Because he is guilty.”

This includes providing support to exporters through subsidies, loans, and credit guarantees, as well as helping them access domestic buyers. However, India's export growth to US is lower compared to its competitors, and the situation may worsen with additional tariffs on Russian oil.
