AAP MP Sanjay Singh warns India-US trade deal could hurt farmers and raise fuel prices, calling it a betrayal. Government defends agreement, citing economic growth and tariff benefits.
Sanjay Singh: The political discourse surrounding the India–US trade agreement has intensified, drawing sharp reactions from opposition leaders and government officials alike. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh has criticized the deal, describing it as a “double blow” for ordinary Indians. According to Singh, the agreement could severely impact the country’s farmers by opening the agricultural market to cheaper American imports, potentially leading to financial strain for millions of farming households.
Sanjay Singh further expressed concerns over India’s energy policy, warning that a shift from Russian to US oil could result in higher fuel prices for citizens, fueling inflation. He labeled the trade deal as a betrayal of Indian farmers and claimed the Modi government had acted under external pressure, prioritizing corporate and international interests over domestic welfare.

NDA leaders hailed the reduction in tariffs under the new trade agreement as a historic milestone. They expressed optimism that the deal would boost key sectors, improve investment opportunities, and reinforce India’s position in the global economy.
Mixed Reactions Signal Economic and Political Debates Ahead
The trade agreement has sparked a broader debate on balancing domestic farmer welfare with global economic partnerships. While the government projects optimism about the economic benefits, opposition parties continue to highlight the potential risks for farmers and ordinary citizens. The discussion is expected to intensify in the coming weeks as stakeholders assess the implications of tariff reductions and market liberalization.
