Congress slams govt's import policy for yellow peas, alleges it's benefiting Adani

The Congress alleged the government's import policy for yellow peas has benefited the Adani Group while causing significant losses to farmers. The removal of import duty on yellow peas has led to cheap imports flooding the market, making domestic pulses uncompetitive. This exemption, extended until March 2026, has been criticized as favoring 'Modani-nirbhar Bharat' over self-reliance.
