‘Modani’ vs ‘MEGA’: A Political Showdown
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has taken a pointed jab at Prime Minister Narendra Modi concerning his recent “MEGA” remark made during his meeting with US President Donald Trump. Ramesh suggests that the significant equation to consider is “Modi + Adani = Modani,” implying that business interests, particularly those of billionaire Gautam Adani, overshadow Modi’s diplomatic engagements.
Ramesh’s Critique: ‘The Only Equation That Counts is Modani’
Following PM Modi’s proclamation of “MAGA + MIGA = MEGA,” linking Trump’s “Make America Great Again” with his own “Make India Great Again,” Ramesh dismissed this branding as a superficial exercise. He emphasized a deeper connection between Modi and corporate interests, stating, “Actually, the only equation that counts is Modi + Adani = Modani.”
Modi’s MEGA Pitch: A US-India Partnership for Prosperity
During his US visit, Modi framed his “MEGA” statement as a pillar of the burgeoning India-US economic and strategic alliance. He tweeted, “President Trump often talks about MAGA. In India, we are working towards a Viksit Bharat, which translates into MIGA. Together, India and the USA have a MEGA partnership for prosperity!”
Trade, Defense, and an Algebraic Nod
The India-US summit also unveiled significant economic and defense initiatives, including Mission-500, aimed at doubling bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030. Modi humorously referenced algebra while discussing India-Canada relations, showcasing his penchant for mathematical metaphors.
Politics or Branding? The Debate Continues
While Modi’s visit has been touted as a diplomatic success, Jairam Ramesh’s comments reflect ongoing political tensions in India. The ‘Modani’ vs. ‘MEGA’ debate is poised to become a key topic in India’s political landscape.
