Gaya witnessed a political showdown when Union Minister and HAM leader Jitan Ram Manjhi excoriated Rahul Gandhi’s stance on the India-US trade agreement. ‘Rahul Gandhi’s brain is flipped,’ Manjhi shot back at journalists, countering the Lok Sabha opposition leader’s narrative of a farmer fiasco.
During his Sunday address, Manjhi unpacked the deal’s virtues: direct advantages for 95 percent of Indians, fortifying farmer prospects nationwide. He slammed Gandhi for fixating on a scant 5 percent of potential snags, calling it a deliberate distortion.
‘Over 95 percent upside means minor pains are negligible—who wouldn’t endure that?’ Manjhi posed. This comes after Gandhi’s relentless attacks branding the deal a treacherous handover to foreign powers.
Manjhi advocated for pragmatism, noting global trades invariably involve compromises but yield exponential returns via expanded horizons for Indian agriculture. The opposition’s campaign, he charged, sows unnecessary doubt.
As Gandhi amplifies warnings of economic peril, Manjhi’s advocacy paints a brighter picture of prosperity through partnerships. This verbal joust amplifies the high-stakes tussle over India’s trade trajectory, pitting caution against ambition.
