00:00I've already made the stand of India clear. India does not negotiate under deadlines.
00:08We negotiate keeping national interests in mind and national interest is paramount in all our work
00:15across the world. We have entered into free trade agreements after the Modi government came in with
00:22Mauritius, with the United Arab Emirates, with Australia, with the four-nation EFTAG grouping,
00:33Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland, now with UK last month, and we continue to work
00:42with other developed nations like the EU bloc of 27 European countries, with the United States,
00:49with Oman, with Peru, with Chile. Today, India negotiates from a position of strength.
00:57We are self-confident. We can compete with anybody in the world. This is not a weak India
01:03under Congress and UPA, which would negotiate and make agreements which were not a national interest.
01:10One follow-up question on the same word. Rahul Gandhi has put on social media that Modi will bow down
01:16in front of the U.S., whereas we'll also let down the U.S.
01:19Well, nobody takes Mr. Rahul Gandhi seriously anymore because of the negativity that he,
01:27his party, and his colleagues are continuously spreading. The falsehoods that they are spreading,
01:34I think they have lost the plot. They have lost the confidence of the people of India
01:38who are again and again rejecting the Congress party and their politics. Till today, they have not
01:47been able to come up with any positive agenda for the development of the nation. Even in Karnataka,
01:55their government is completely collapsed. It's a hotbed of corruption. It's a government which is
02:03fighting amongst themselves every single day. I hope Mr. Rahul Gandhi can control his own party
02:09and his own governments because he has only barely a handful of governments left. The way he's going,
02:16his negativity will only lead to the people rejecting him, even in these states which he has left.
02:22God left.
