‘Compromised’ PM appeasing ‘good friend’: Congress targets Modi over Rubio’s $500 billion investment remark

He also questioned how Rubio could on May 21 announce the India visit of the Venezuelan President even before India and Venezuela had 'even hinted or confirmed' it.

Strategic partnership has converging and diverging interests.
