Debate With Arnab: Massive Trade Deal Showdown As Govt Gives It Back To Rahul

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and BJP leaders deliver a fierce rebuttal to Rahul Gandhi's explosive allegations that PM Modi "sold India" in the recent interim US trade deal, accusing him of buckling under pressure to shield Adani interests amid Epstein file shadows. Rahul claimed the pact surrenders data sovereignty, farm protections, textile jobs, and energy security—granting 20-year tax holidays to US firms while Bangladesh secures better terms—but government counters with data on tariff safeguards and strategic gains under Trump 2.0. This Budget Session clash exposes opposition tactics linking deals to personal scandals.

Debate with Arnab ignites over whether Rahul's "chokehold" narrative is desperate deflection or valid critique, pitting Congress's sovereignty fears against BJP's vision of economic multipliers through equal-partner pacts.
