In February 2020, Ramesh said, President Trump was hosted by Modi to a gala ‘Namaste Trump’ event in Ahmedabad and in February 2025, “much was made of the fact that Modi was amongst the earliest heads of government who met with President Trump in his second innings”.

Earlier, it was said that the external affairs minister S. Jaishankar had a front row seat at President Trump’s inauguration and was the first to meet US secretary of state Marco Rubio, the Congress general secretary said in another dig at the Modi government.

“Mr. Modi wooed Elon Musk and his family as well, at a time when Mr. Musk was very close to President Trump. The wooing of Mr. Musk was part of Mr. Modi’s strategy to please President Trump.

“Mr. Modi has time and again flaunted his supposedly close friendship with President Trump. On Feb 14, 2025, he had shown off his knowledge of algebra by telling President Trump that MAGA + MIGA = MEGA,” the Congress general secretary said.

He said Prime Minister Modi has kept completely quiet even as President Trump has claimed 33 times that he intervened to bring about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
