The Congress party has launched a strong critique against Prime Minister Narendra Modi following media reports indicating that U.S. authorities are considering dropping fraud charges against billionaire Gautam Adani. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh suggested that this development clarifies Modi's motivations for agreeing to the Indo-U.S. trade deal, which he described as 'hopelessly one-sided'. Ramesh further accused Modi of halting Operation Sindoor on May 10, 2025, due to pressure from then-President Donald Trump, rather than prioritizing national interests. He questioned how much more compromised the Prime Minister could become, highlighting concerns about the integrity of the Indian government in light of these allegations. Reports indicate that the U.S. Justice Department may announce the dropping of charges imminently, along with a settlement in a parallel civil fraud case against Adani.
