India-U.S. deal: Rajasthan Congress MLAs protest in Assembly wearing ‘PM is compromised’ t-shirts

Congress MLAs on Thursday (February 26, 2026) protested in the Rajasthan Assembly, wearing white T-shirts with the slogan “PM is compromised” written on them, against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the India-U.S. trade deal. They also took part in the House proceedings wearing the same t-shirts.

The legislators gathered in front of the entry of the Assembly’s main complex, holding placards and raising slogans.

They alleged that the trade agreement with the United States would adversely impact farmers and small traders.

Congress MLA Amin Kagzi told reporters that the “Prime Minister stands compromised” and claimed that certain international disclosures had raised serious questions. “The Prime Minister has been exposed and people are seeking answers from him,” Mr. Kagzi said.

The MLA said that the PM was under pressure owing to the Epstein files. Mr. Kagzi alleged that the Centre’s policies had worked against the interests of farmers and the country.

MLA Ramniwas Gawriya alleged that while Mr. Modi speaks about farmers in his public addresses, his government’s decisions do not reflect those assurances.
