Modi scared, trade deal struck four months ago: Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hit out at the government over the Indo-US trade deal, calling it a sell out because the Prime Minister has been “compromised.” Speaking to reporters within the Parliament complex, Mr Gandhi said he is under pressure because of the Epstein Files and an ongoing case against Adani.
“Modi Ji is scared. The trade deal that was stuck for four months. Nothing has changed but for some reason that I know and Modi ji knows, he signed the deal last evening,”Mr Gandhi said, adding, “There is immense pressure on Narendra Modi ji.” “
The balloon of the Narendra Modi Ji image, created with thousands of crores, can burst,” the Opposition leader said.
“The main thing is that our Prime Minister has been compromised. The people of India will have to think who has done it and why….The farmers of India must understand that in this trade deal, Narendra Modi Ji has sold off your labour and blood and sweat. And that’s because he is compromised now. Not just you (farmers), the entire country has been sold. That’s why I am not being allowed to speak there (inside the House),” Mr Gandhi said.
