India won't be shaken by tariff threats, says Naidu
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday said India would not be shaken by tariff threats or trade barriers imposed by other nations, in an apparent reference to past remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump describing it as a 'dead economy.' Addressing the Har Ghar Tiranga programme here, Mr. Naidu said the country had made rapid strides since Independence, emerging as the world's fourth largest economy and set to climb to third place, driven by reforms since the 1990s. He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership in 'steering the country through troubled times,' noting India's talented human resources as a key asset. The tricolour, he said, was not just a symbol but a source of inspiration, evoking the sacrifices of freedom fighters and the Armed Forces. Recalling India's 'befitting reply' to the Pahalgam terror attacks, he urged people to uphold patriotism and unity. Mr. Naidu paid tributes to Pingali Venkaiah, Alluri Sitarama Raju and others who fought for freedom. Ministers Kandula Durgesh and Y. Satya Kumar, MLA Bonda Umamaheswara Rao, and senior officials were present.
