Piyush Goyal On US Trade Deal: India's Got Best Deal In Neighbourhood

The trade deal with the US that came through after many hiccups and months of negotiations is the "best in the neighbourhood", Commerce and Industry Minister minister Piyush Goyal said today. He also slammed the Opposion, especially Rahul Gandhi, for their criticism of the deal, questioning if the Congress leader resented the country's progress.

Goyal criticised Gandhi over claims that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had accepted the India-US trade deal under pressure. "Rahul Gandhi wants to mislead the public, he does not care about India's progress," the minister said.
