Trump’s India game
In fact, even during elections in India, it is quite common for elections to be financed behind the scenes by industrialists. Apart from India’s main political parties Congress and BJP, big industrialists also donate heavily to regional parties. However, every businessman avoids revealing his name directly in India. Because he doesn’t want to be an opponent of the opposition parties. However, in America the situation is somewhat different. Trump was seen with Donald Trump during his campaign. But no one knew that Musk could open his treasury enough for Trump to win.
