USAID Funding Row: Mahesh Jethmalani claims former chief Veena Reddy left India post LS polls, demands treason probe

USAID Funding Row: A political firestorm has erupted over a $21 million USAID fund allegedly linked to voter turnout in India. Former US President Donald Trumps comments have further fuelled the controversy, with the BJP accusing Congress of seeking foreign help. The focus has now shifted to Veena Reddy, the former USAID India director, with BJP MP Mahesh Jethmalani questioning her role in fund allocation. The issue has reignited concerns over foreign funding and its impact on Indian democracy.
