As Prime Minister Narendra Modi departed to Russia for his first bilateral meeting with President Vladimir Putin after assuming office for the third term, the Congress on Friday came up with a series of questions for PM Modi, including whether relations between the two countries cooled off somewhat under his watch.
In a long post on X, Congress general secretary, in-charge communications, Jairam Ramesh, said, “India inherited a rich relationship with first the USSR and later Russia due to the astute diplomacy and strategic initiatives of various Congress Governments through the decades. More recently, in his ten years as Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh met Vladmir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev (the two Presidents of Russia who served during his tenure) 16 times in India or Russia. By comparison, this is only Mr. Modi’s 11th meeting with President Putin after 10 years in office.”
