India-US Trade Deal: Rahul Gandhi claimed that PM Modi entered into a trade deal with the US under pressure. Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that Rahul Gandhi is a person with negative thinking.

Piyush Goyal lashed out at Congress while speaking on the trade deal

Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, while presenting the government's position on the India-US trade deal, sharply targeted opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. He alleged that Rahul Gandhi is trying to mislead or spread confusion about the deal. He said, "Rahul Gandhi promised to sign a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with China in 2012. PM Modi has corrected this. Rahul Gandhi is a person with negative thinking and displays a double standard."

Rahul Gandhi's accusations against PM Modi

Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is under intense pressure, which is why he signed the trade agreement with the United States. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi alleged, "Indian farmers should understand that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sold their hard work and sweat in this agreement."

Rahul Gandhi is misleading the country: Piyush Goyal.

Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said, "Rahul Gandhi's attempt to mislead the nation on the US trade deal is regrettable and has nothing to do with India's progress. India has protected the interests of the sensitive sectors of agriculture and dairy in the trade deal with the US. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken into account the interests of the animal husbandry, agriculture, and dairy sectors in this agreement."

'India has struck a good deal with the US.'

Piyush Goyal said he wanted to speak about the agreement in Parliament, but was unable to do so due to the uproar from Congress and other opposition parties. The minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has completed the much-anticipated trade deal with the United States, and the country is congratulating him. He said that India secured a good deal with the United States due to the personal relationship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump.
