Various economists have expressed the opinion that there is no risk of inflation or unemployment in India due to the US imposing 'as is' tariffs on various countries, including India. On the contrary, these economists believe that this is an opportunity for India to increase its reach in the global market. In this, the strong impact of Donald Trump's tariff announcement was seen in the global market as well as the Indian stock market. It is said that investors have lost Rs 19 lakh crore due to this. Reacting to this, Thackeray group leader and MLA Aaditya Thackeray has demanded that the Union Finance Minister and Prime Minister Modi should talk about this.

Speaking to reporters, Aaditya Thackeray said that on the 2nd, I had posted on social media about this. The session of the country's Parliament was starting, and it was necessary for the Union Finance Minister or the Prime Minister to be present and tell what impact the tariffs would have on our country. Whether it was the opposition party or the ruling party, it was necessary to bring everyone together and tell what challenges this would pose to our country. But when this big challenge was seen in front of them, the BJP people got involved in it by arguing Hindu-Muslim. The damage suffered today is about 26 lakh crores, Aaditya Thackeray has said.

The damage suffered by the country will increase

The damage suffered by the country will increase. Do the Union Finance Minister and Prime Minister Modi have any idea of ​​how many companies are going to close, how many people are going to lose their jobs, has this government thought about it, Aaditya Thackeray asked. Also, inflation will increase, unemployment will increase, this whole tariff mess is going on, the central government is not ready to answer this. There is no need to bring politics into this, there is no need to debate. Everyone knows that there is a challenge; but, Aaditya Thackeray expressed the hope that we will take everyone along. Also, Aaditya Thackeray has said that the central government has no answer to this, the country is going to suffer an economic collapse due to the government's wrong policies and tariffs.

Meanwhile, since there is no answer to all this, all that will be done in the country is to create riots. What difference will it make to the common citizens, will they get jobs, will they get lands like the Adanis get, asking, Ram Navami has happened and now it is Hanuman Janmotsav. The important thing is that the BJP should take all the lands in Ayodhya that belong to the trust or are around the temple, which were given to Adani or Lodha, and build free houses for the kar sevaks and give them, Aaditya Thackeray has said.
