gandhi said "RCEP will flood india with cheap goods, resulting in millions of job losses & crippling the Indian economy". Furthermore his remarks come two days after congress president sonia gandhi launched a blistering attack on the government's economic policies and said signing the RCEP agreement will deal a "body blow" to the economy, resulting in "untold hardship" for farmers, shopkeepers and small enterprises.

 


Moreover the proposed free trade agreement includes 10 member-countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and six of the bloc's dialogue partners china, japan, South korea, india, australia and new zealand and the possible delay in firming up the RCEP during the three-day Asean summit in Bangkok has been attributed to India's demands on market access and tariff-related issues.
