Congress leader Rahul Gandhi sharply criticized the recently finalised India-US trade deal, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi “buckled under pressure” from the United States and “sold out” the hard work of Indian farmers through the agreement.
Addressing reporters outside Parliament, Rahul Gandhi claimed the trade pact—which had been stalled for months—was suddenly concluded after intense external influence on the prime minister. He said this development came as he was not allowed to speak in the Lok Sabha on the president’s address, marking an unprecedented moment for the Leader of the Opposition.
Rahul Gandhi asserted that Modi has been “compromised” and that the deal jeopardizes farmers’ interests, urging the public to consider the implications. He also referenced high-profile U.S. legal cases involving Indian industrialist Gautam Adani and hinted at broader pressures, though these claims were not independently confirmed.
