US-India trade deal: Union ministers accuse Rahul Gandhi of spreading lies

NEW DELHI: (Feb 13) Two Union ministers on Friday accused Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi of spreading lies about the India-US trade deal and asserted that farmers' interests have been "fully protected" under the agreement.

In video messages posted on X, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan described Gandhi as a "habitual liar" who does not want farmers to be empowered.

The ministers' remarks came after Gandhi in a video message posted on X accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being "anti-farmer" and "selling" the country through the India-US interim trade deal.
