By : Sandhya
US President Donald Trump on Saturday once again questioned the USAID's $21 million fund for ‘voter turnout’ in India, which has been cancelled by his administration.“USD 21 million going to my friend Prime Minister Modi in India for voter turnout.
We are giving $21 million for voter turnout in India, what about us? I want voter turnout too, Governor…$29 million to strengthen political landscape in Bangladesh went to a firm that nobody ever heard of,” the US President told governors in a video shared by National Desk.
On Friday, the Republican leader questioned the fund as a “kickback scheme”, saying, "USD 21 million for voter turnout in India. Why are we caring about India's turnout? We have got enough problems. We want our own turnout. I would say in many cases, many of these cases, anytime you have no idea what we’re talking about, that means there’s a kickback because nobody has any idea what’s going on there."
