Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, while addressing a rally in West Bengal, expressed concerns about the trade deal between India and the United States. He warned that the agreement could lead to the closure of small and mid-sized industries, resulting in job losses across India. Gandhi accused PM Modi of compromising national interests by allowing American farm produce into India, potentially harming the agriculture sector.
Rahul Gandhi further criticized the Modi government for committing to a significant purchase of goods from the US, raising fears of adverse effects on Indian industries. He also targeted the Mamata Banerjee government in Bengal, alleging that it is influenced by a syndicate system that exploits the people. Gandhi accused both the Trinamool Congress and the BJP of corruption, highlighting issues such as chit fund scams, illegal mining, and the imposition of a ‘goon tax’ in Bengal.
Gandhi emphasized the need for accountability in governance and criticized the Trinamool Congress for failing to deliver on its promises, leading to a sense of fear among the public. He raised concerns about the erosion of democracy and the lack of benefits reaching the people due to alleged corrupt practices within the ruling party.
