Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday (February 3, 2026) hit out at the Government over the India-U.S. trade deal, claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been “compromised”.
The Prime Minister has “sold out” the hard work of Indian farmers through the agreement, he alleged, speaking to reporters within the Parliament complex after the Lok Sabha was adjourned several times amidst Opposition uproar.

“The trade deal that was stuck for four months. Nothing has changed, but for a reason that both Mr. Modi and I know of, he signed the deal last evening,” Mr. Gandhi said, adding, “There is immense pressure on Narendra Modi ji”. The “balloon” of his image, created with thousands of crores, can burst, he added.
The Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha alleged that the Prime Minister is “too afraid” to let him speak “about Naravane, Epstein files and how he has surrendered on tariffs”. He said that the LoP was not allowed to speak during a Motion of Thanks on the President’s address for the first time in history.
