Continuous Disagreement Surrounding USAID Aid to India Remains Unresolved
The controversy surrounding a $21 million fund, allegedly intended for raising voter turnout in India, continues to unfold. The US President, Donald Trump, has questioned the fund, adding to the intrigue.
Reports suggest that the US administration, or its deep state, has been accused of bringing about regime changes in various countries, including Iraq and Bangladesh. Robert F. Kennedy Jr, US health secretary, has stated that the US may have brought about 50 regime changes over the last seven decades. These accusations have added fuel to the speculation that the $21 million fund may have been intended for alleged regime change objectives.
However, there is uncertainty about whether any of the $21 million reached Indian entities. Official India, with the help of the Reserve Bank and the finance ministry, could potentially establish who received the US money for a higher voting percentage in India. Yet, no credible public sources or evidence have emerged to indicate that any U.S. government persons or organizations were directly or indirectly involved with the fund.
The US President's flippant attitude towards facts has made his alternative reality often take precedence over truth. Trump has shown inconsistencies in his statements about Volodymyr Zelenskyy and peace talks with Russia. This inconsistency has added to the suspicion surrounding the $21 million fund.
The Congress party has used this report to defend itself against charges of benefiting from the funds. However, the controversy over the $21 million fund is being used as a political tool in India, similar to a soap opera. The ruling BJP party disbelieves the report as more obfuscation in the controversy.
The administration and Elon Musk have stated that this fund has been cancelled. An investigative report suggests the $21 million was intended for Bangladesh, not India. Yet, the mystery of the $21 million fund remains unresolved due to Indian expertise limitations in forensically proving money trails.
The Government of India sees a pattern of external interference in India's elections. The controversy surrounding the $21 million fund is unlikely to come to a quick conclusion, with the potential for further political fallout.
