**CPI(M) Condemns U.S. Tariffs, Calls for Stronger Indian Response**

**Vijayawada, October 5, 2025:** The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] sharply criticized U.S. trade policies towards India at the opening of its Andhra Pradesh State Committee meeting on Sunday. Polit Bureau member B.V. Raghavulu released a book entitled “Trump’s Tariff War on India” during the event, using the occasion to lambast the U.S. administration for imposing a 50% tariff on Indian products and a 25% levy on Russian oil imports.

Raghavulu asserted that these tariffs were a direct attack on India’s sovereignty, stating, “Every country has the right to decide from whom to import essential goods, but U.S. President Donald Trump’s actions tantamount to coercion.” He further criticized the central government for what he perceives as a weak response, claiming that “Small nations have shown greater courage in resisting U.S. pressure.”

The CPI(M) leader warned of significant repercussions for Andhra Pradesh’s key industries, including aquaculture, jewelry, and automobile manufacturing. He also highlighted the detrimental impact of H-1B visa restrictions on Indian students and professionals. The party vowed to continue its fight against these “unilateral measures.”

Raghavulu also took aim at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, questioning his silence on the H-1B visa issue despite boasting about the presence of Telugu talent in Silicon Valley. He urged the TDP and JSP to pressure the central government to resist U.S. directives.

Furthermore, Raghavulu criticized the YSRCP’s “conspicuous silence” and called on its leader, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, to cease his party’s perceived blind support for the BJP.
