MP CM Mohan Yadav Targets Rahul Gandhi Over Indo US Trade Deal Remarks

Mohan Yadav on Wednesday targeted Rahul Gandhi for making what he termed "baseless" allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the Indo US trade deal.

At a farmers' rally in Bhopal on Tuesday, Gandhi had alleged that the Modi government approved the trade deal under pressure.

Speaking to reporters outside the legislative assembly, Yadav said, "I pray to Baba Mahakal to give him (Rahul Gandhi) wisdom, considering the false and baseless allegations he has made.

"He is using farmers to further his own interests. He sees this as a window of opportunity for himself, but no such opportunity will open up... the Leader of Opposition should first study the dark pages of the Congress regime," the Chief Minister said.

Yadav said the Union government is providing a 90% grant for river linking projects in Madhya Pradesh. He added that the trade deal between India and the European Union will benefit six lakh farmers in the state.

Later, in a post on X, the Chief Minister said the "Nehru-Gandhi family has always placed politics above India, while under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, India is emerging as a global power."

“Rahul Gandhi and the Congress never miss an opportunity to advance their agenda internationally, and even at the AI summit in Delhi, his supporters were "making it all about themselves instead of celebrating India's achievements," Mr. Yadav added, referring to the Youth Congress' "shirtless" protest.

There was no immediate response from Gandhi or the Congress on the Chief Minister’s remarks.
