While chatting with ANI, Goyal mentioned, ‘It’s like angoor khate hai (story of bitter grapes). Discussions began in 2006, launched in 2007, deserted in 2013. They did not even have the braveness or the desire to finalise an settlement. Out of worry, the UPA and Congress governments might by no means take decisive motion. And Jairam Ramesh himself is taken into account anti-development, you’ve got seen it. As an setting minister, he stalled the nation’s improvement journey. The Congress social gathering’s monitor report is that dangerous. Friends like Jairam Ramesh and events just like the Congress had been pushing India to enter into an FTA with China. I need to ask them instantly: How did you even consider letting India enter RCEP, which was successfully an FTA between China and India? How did you have got the braveness to place India in danger? This was a grave mistake by Congress. Congress should reply the individuals about how they had been prepared to hurt India’s pursuits by an FTA with China. This is the Congress monitor report.’

The merchandise on which they gave us obligation concessions usually are not even reaching these markets, whereas their imports into India have doubled… Here, 99% of every part exported from India may have zero obligation. We have negotiated balanced FTAs. We have even signed FTAs with developed nations on our personal phrases… But not like the Congress authorities, we do not signal FTAs with nations that compete with us or these with decrease labour prices that might hurt our producers…’
Further, Union Minister has strongly lashed out at Rahul Gandhi’s touch upon the Indian economic system being ‘useless’, stating that India is presently the world’s fastest-growing massive economic system, with a progress price of 7-8%.

Goyal criticised the Congress social gathering’s destructive mindset, saying that they fail to notice India’s progress and achievements.’The world’s fastest-growing massive economic system, have you ever heard the statements of the EU Commissioner and EU Council President? How excited they had been to enhance relations with India. Today, no different economic system is rising at 7-8% besides India. Today, the entire world is raring to strengthen ties with India. I consider that inside our personal nation, there are individuals like Rahul Gandhi and Jairam Ramesh who disparage their very own nation. They view India’s achievements negatively and fail to notice how the nation is progressing; how 25 crore individuals have come out of poverty, how the youth have gotten job creators by startups, how infrastructure is increasing throughout the nation. People’s lives are bettering, incomes are rising, and on the similar time taxes are being diminished; revenue tax, GST, the burden on residents. Efforts are being made to empower individuals, develop abilities, and make them self-reliant by new training insurance policies. This nation is now shifting ahead quickly. Congress’s destructive mindset can now not cease it. That mindset stored India backward for many years. Today, no wise individual in India will fall for Congress’s considering,’, Goyal mentioned.
