As Congress targets Rupee devaluation, Dubey blames Nehru, Indira for India's dollar dependence

Amid repeated Congress attacks over rupee depreciation and concerns about the economy, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey mounted a historical counteroffensive, blaming former Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi for India's long-standing dependence on the US dollar. Citing the Bretton Woods framework, the 1966 rupee devaluation and a 1974 agreement with the US, Dubey argued that Congress-era decisions tied India's economic fortunes to the dollar. His remarks come as the BJP and Congress intensify their battle over the economy, the rupee's performance and competing narratives around India's economic legacy.
