Rajasthan Assembly Sees Fiery Debate Over India-US Trade Deal: 'America Backed Down'
•A heated debate erupted outside the Rajasthan Assembly between Leader of Opposition Tikaram Juli, Congress Whip Rafiq Khan, and Minister of State for Home Affairs Jawahar Singh Bedham regarding the India-US trade deal.
•Minister Bedham claimed the deal was a victory for PM Modi's policies, forcing America to agree to India's terms and showcasing India's growing global stature.
•Tikaram Juli countered, calling it a 'surrender' and alleging PM Modi compromised under US pressure, warning of a crisis for Indian farmers if American dairy products enter the market.
•Rafiq Khan questioned if India neglected its old ally Russia to strengthen ties with the US, citing America's historical support for Pakistan.
•Bedham dismissed the opposition's arguments as 'narrow thinking,' asserting India's strong global influence under Modi's leadership.
