The deal will open huge opportunities for poor, fishermen, farmers and youth, Goyal said.
"I wanted to speak in Parliament about the deal, but could not do so because of ugly scenes created by Congress led by Rahul Gandhi.
We have got better trade deal than our competitors.
India has got a good deal with US because of personal relationship between PM Modi and US President Donald Trump. PM Modi has taken care of interests of animal husbandry, agriculture and dairy sectors", the minister added.
It is regrettable that Rahul Gandhi is trying to mislead nation on US trade deal, he has nothing to do with India's progress Goyal said.
