Textile Tariffs Row: Rahul Gandhi Targets Modi Govt Over US Policy | Splittly Blog

January 30, 2026By Splittly Team5 min read

Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has launched a scathing attack on the Modi government, accusing it of failing to protect India's textile industry from aggressive new US tariffs. The 'dead economy' jab has reignited the political debate on economic management.

The Tariff Impact

The new tariffs imposed by the US administration are expected to hit Indian textile exports hard. Gandhi argues that the government was caught napping and failed to negotiate effectively, putting thousands of jobs at risk in states like Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.

Government Response

The BJP has dismissed the criticism as political opportunism, citing global economic headwinds as the primary factor. Ministers have assured the public that diplomatic channels are open and that India is seeking exemptions for key sectors.
