The Congress party is likely to step up its pressure against the Narendra Modi Government over the Indo-U.S. trade deal, with the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi likely to focus on it when he takes part in the discussion on the Union Budget on Wednesday (February 11, 2026). The Opposition agreed to allow normal functioning since it wants to raise crucial issues, including the trade deal, during the Budget discussion. “This has happened”, in the Indo-U.S. trade deal, he said. “Fine print of the Indo-U.S. trade deal has exposed how PM Modi mortgaged India’s national interests,” Mr. Kharge alleged, terming it “trapped surrender”. Mr. Kharge alleged that the government had “back-stabbed” farmers by opening agriculture to foreign goods.
