Face-off erupts over India-US deal: Piyush Goyal exposes Rahul's 'stage-managed' farmer act as fake

A sharp political clash erupts as Piyush Goyal targets Rahul Gandhi over his attack on the government’s proposed trade deal. Gandhi accuses Narendra Modi of “betraying” farmers, warning that subsidised foreign crops could threaten MSP security and rural livelihoods. After meeting farmer unions in Parliament, the Congress leader says rising costs, inflation and policy uncertainty have deepened distress. The BJP dismisses the claims as political fear-mongering. With agriculture, trade and elections intersecting, the debate highlights growing tensions over market access, subsidies and farmer protections, turning the issue into a major flashpoint between the NDA and the Opposition.
