In a recent debate regarding the India-US trade agreement, a Congress leader launched a scathing attack on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), declaring that there would be no more excuses or deceptions tolerated. The discussion highlighted a signed joint statement, which referenced comments made by U.S. President Trump regarding Prime Minister Modi, pointing towards potential dangers this deal poses to the future of farmers in India.

The Congress party's stance is increasingly critical of the government’s handling of international trade agreements, particularly in how they affect local agriculture and farmers. Concerns were raised about the implications of the trade deal, especially regarding environmental and agricultural standards that could undermine the livelihoods of farmers. The leader's accusations suggest that the BJP is not taking into account the significant impact these negotiations can have on rural India, which is heavily dependent on agriculture for its economic sustenance.

This attack is likely part of a broader political strategy by the Congress party to regain support among farmers, who have been vocal against policies they perceive as detrimental to their interests. The emphasis on the joint statement may serve to rally public opinion against the BJP, framing them as out of touch with the realities faced by the agricultural sector and signaling a commitment by the Congress to prioritize local concerns in future negotiations.
