Hours after PM Narendra Modi returned from his visit to the United States, which is being hailed as a new moment in the relations between the two nations, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has said that the US is behaving like the then Soviet Union, which had “full grip on the Indian economy”.
Swamy's comments may draw fresh controversy as his assertion may seem opposite to his party's stand on the US-India relationship.

Swamy, who is also a Rajya Sabha member, in a twitter post, said, “I fought the Soviet Union's grip on Indian economy, politics and bureaucracy from 1968 to 1991. The Soviet Union's retaliation was massive but I prevailed.”
He also said that PM Modi “has to be protected” but without describing from whom and how.
