Rahul Gandhi has launched a fresh attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi concerning the recently negotiated interim US trade deal. According to Gandhi, the agreement significantly compromises India's sovereignty, turning it into a 'data colony' under the influence of the United States.
Highlighting the disparities in the deal, Gandhi draws a Jiu-Jitsu analogy to explain the 'grips' and 'chokes' that he alleges have restrained the Prime Minister, forcing concessions that are not reciprocated, such as increased US imports and compromised energy security.
The Congress leader emphasized the political pressure, including references to the Adani scandal and issues with China, suggesting that these factors influence Modi's decisions, thereby affecting Indian farmers and industries. Gandhi's critique concludes with concerns over the loss of economic self-reliance and digital sovereignty.
