Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday (April 2, 2026) claimed United States President Donald Trump was controlling Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This was because Mr. Trump “controls” Mr. Modi, he claimed. The Congress leader further claimed that Mr. Trump was using 3.5 million undisclosed Epstein files as a weapon to control Mr. Modi. He said corruption was the reason why the Prime Minister and Home Minister Amit Shah control the Assam Chief Minister. He further said that Mr. Modi, Mr. Shah, and Mr. Sarma opened a “land ATM” in Assam to give “18,000 bighas of your land to Adani, 13,000 bighas to Ambani, and 60,000 bighas to Patanjali”.
