The Congress party is organizing a large protest in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, in response to the trade deal recently signed between India and the United States. Scheduled for Tuesday, the event, termed 'Kisan Maha Chaupal', will see prominent party members, including Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, engage with farmers and address their concerns. The party’s initiative highlights its commitment to opposing policies perceived as detrimental to the agricultural community.

Preparations for the gathering have been extensive, with the protest set to occur at Jawahar Chowk. Congress workers are actively visiting villages to inform farmers about the perceived harmful effects of the trade deal, arguing that it is not in their best interests. This grassroots approach indicates a strategy to mobilize public sentiment against government policies and emphasize the plight of farmers who may be adversely affected by international agreements in the agricultural sector.

Prominent Congress leaders from Madhya Pradesh, including Jitu Patwari and former Union Minister Arun Yadav, have taken to social media to appeal for a large turnout. Their campaign aims to raise awareness about protecting farmers' interests and to rally public opposition against the trade deal facilitated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This protest reflects the ongoing political struggle in India, particularly concerning agricultural policies and farmers’ rights amid global trade negotiations.
