Export sector crumbles, millions face uncertain future due to Modi govt incompetence: Dinesh K Vohra
New Delhi: Senior Indian journalist and columnist Dinesh K Vohra has sharply criticized the Modi government’s so-called development model, warning that millions of Indians are on the brink of unemployment.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a video message, Dinesh K Vohra exposed a historic collapse in India’s export sector, attributing it to the Modi govt’s diplomatic failures. He revealed that all orders from the United States have been canceled, halting shipments and devastating India’s $60 billion trade with the US.
Vohra described the situation as a “dark Diwali” for 100 million people, with the textile and garment sector, employing 45 million workers, facing massive job losses. He added that shrimp farming orders worth 20,000 to 22,000 crore rupees have been scrapped, diamond exports worth $1 billion have stopped, and orders for carpets, leather, machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and spare parts have been canceled.
Warning of widespread unemployment, Vohra stressed unless American tarrifs are lifted, India will see nothing but growing joblessness. Despite the severity of the crisis, he lamented the government’s silence and criticized TV channels for downplaying the economic impact, falsely claiming only minor GDP losses of 0.3 or 0.4 percent.
“We stand like a termite-infested wall, which could collapse at any moment,” the senior Indian journalist said, adding, “No matter what the government says, India cannot withstand 50 percent tariffs.” He pointed out that China stands like a wall, offering goods ten times cheaper, while India’s quality is so poor that even with zero tariffs, Japan buys nothing.
Dinesh K Vohra warned of an impending dark era for the people, saying Modi doesn’t care about it. He concluded that Modi government’s slogan of ‘Vishwaguru’ (world leader) lies buried beneath soaring inflation, unemployment, and hunger, as the government’s economic model has been completely shattered by crippling American tariffs.
