CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury and BJP MP Subramanian Swamy on Saturday said US president Donald Trump's visit will not benefit India, but is aimed at boosting the American economy.
Both the leaders were in the city to attend a function.
"He has come to boost his economy and not ours. So I do not see any benefit to our country," Swamy said.
"There may be some defence agreements. That will also boost his country. Above all, we are paying for the defence equipments and he is not giving it for free," added the BJP MP, who has been critical of the way the economy is being handled by his party-led government.
Addressing the gathering, Yechury said, "We are worried over his visit. The US President is coming to draw concessions for US farmers."
