People were criticising tariffs, but our patience yielded results: PM Modi on US trade deal at NDA meet
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday told NDA MPs that India’s landmark trade agreement with the US was the result of sustained patience, noting that earlier criticism over tariff negotiations had now given way to a positive outcome.
Addressing the NDA Parliamentary Party meeting, he said the deal had created a favourable economic environment and demonstrated the government’s steady approach to global trade talks.
“People criticised the tariffs, but we remained patient, and the results are now visible,” the Prime Minister said.
“The world order is changing, and its trajectory is increasingly tilting towards India. I have been saying this at various global platforms, and today we are seeing India benefit even amid trade tensions across many countries," he added.
PM Modi also urged MPs to ensure full attendance in Parliament and actively participate in discussions, stressing the importance of effectively communicating the government’s work to the public. He asked party leaders to reach out to citizens and highlight the key achievements outlined in the Union Budget.
Emphasising the economic opportunities ahead, he said the trade agreement should now translate into a boost for domestic manufacturing and higher-quality production, aligning with the broader push to strengthen India’s industrial growth.
