Union Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan emphasized that the India–US trade agreement prioritizes Indian growers’ interests, dismissing Opposition allegations of harm to the agriculture sector. Chouhan described the deal as a balanced outcome focused on diplomacy, development, and national dignity, highlighting that tariff rationalization will boost export opportunities for Indian produce while safeguarding domestic markets.
Chouhan criticized the Congress for spreading misinformation and political discontent regarding the agreement. He expressed gratitude towards Prime Minister Modi and Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal for ensuring that the trade deal upholds India’s interests and provides full protection to farmers. Chouhan affirmed that no major food grains, fruits, or millets markets have been opened up, ensuring the safety of Indian farmers.
Responding to Opposition claims of selling off the agriculture sector, Chouhan criticized the Congress for spreading lies and confusion. He accused the party of creating chaos through falsehoods and emphasized that the trade deal benefits India and its farmers. Chouhan condemned the undignified behavior of the Congress and its disruption of parliamentary norms, expressing disappointment with their actions.
Chouhan denounced the Congress for calling Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu a “traitor,” labeling it as a display of frustration. He criticized Rahul Gandhi and the Congress for disrespecting national leaders and undermining the dignity of the Prime Minister. Chouhan warned that such behavior would not be tolerated by the public and could lead to the Congress’ downfall.
