Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked the government over the India-US trade deal during the Budget debate in Lok Sabha. He called the deal a “sell-out” and a “surrender.” Gandhi said India should negotiate with the US as an equal. He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of weakening India’s sovereignty. He raised concerns over tariffs, digital trade rules and data control. Gandhi said farmers and textile workers would suffer. He also claimed energy security was at risk. The BJP rejected his charges. The speech marked a fresh attempt by Congress to set a new political narrative.
