Goyal’s US Tariff Remarks: Congress Calls it a “Self-congratulatory Non-Statement”
The Congress party today launched a scathing attack on Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal’s recent statement on US tariffs, dismissing it as a mere exercise in self-congratulation that ignored the plight of Indian businesses. The party accused Goyal of failing to address the significant concerns raised by the Indian industry regarding the ongoing trade disputes with the United States.
Congress leaders pointed to the lack of a comprehensive trade deal with the US as a major failure of the Modi government’s economic policies. They argued that Goyal’s statement lacked substance and failed to offer any concrete solutions to the challenges faced by Indian exporters grappling with US tariffs.
The opposition party further highlighted the negative impact of these tariffs on various sectors of the Indian economy, demanding a more proactive and result-oriented approach from the government. They called for immediate and decisive action to mitigate the damaging effects of these tariffs.
This criticism comes at a crucial juncture, with several key Indian industries facing significant losses due to the ongoing trade tensions. The Congress’s sharp rebuke underscores the growing pressure on the government to address the issue effectively and protect the interests of Indian businesses operating in the global market. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether the government can successfully navigate these trade challenges and alleviate the concerns of the Indian industry.
