Earlier in the day, during a press conference addressed by him, the Congress accused chief election commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar of aiding the BJP in winning elections through voter deletions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cHe is a fused rocket that doesn\u2019t take off. There are no takers for \u2018vote chori\u2019 in Bihar,&#8221; Goyal told <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">News18 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">in an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Goyal, who is in the UAE for a two-day visit, said signing of the defence deal between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan will have no impact on its relationship with India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cIt won\u2019t affect Bharat-Saudi relations and there will be no impact on Bharat-UAE ties as well. We have a very strong relationship with the UAE,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">While addressing a press conference in Abu Dhabi, he said the UAE has expressed strong interest in expanding cooperation with India in key high-tech sectors, including defence, aerospace, and space technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">On \u2018Bharat Mart\u2019 being set up in Dubai, he said: \u201cIt\u2019s a unique opportunity for us. I was quite intrigued by the concept. Land has been allocated for the mart in Dubai, and small and medium Indian businesses can showcase their products,&#8221; he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>\u2018INDIA-US TALKS GOING IN RIGHT DIRECTION\u2019<\/h4>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Goyal said India\u2019s trade negotiations with the United States are showing promising signs and are moving in the right direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cPositive talks are going on with the US, talks going in the right direction. The US and India are natural partners and there is a strong relationship between us,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">He spoke about concerns from textile exporters over their goods getting stuck due to the US tariffs and if they will be diverted to the US through other countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cIndia will never allow other countries\u2019 goods to be diverted to the US through India, nor will it allow any Indian exporter to send Indian goods to the US through other countries. Our credibility is our greatest strength,&#8221; he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Goyal further said Indian manufacturers and foreign investors want to set up in India because it is a huge market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cAfter the GST (goods and services tax) rate cut, we expect to see a considerable increase in consumer demand in India,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Anand Narasimhan\" title=\"Anand Narasimhan\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2022\/11\/itzkpfow_400x400.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/anand-narasimhan-16115.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Anand Narasimhan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anand Narasimhan is Managing Editor, Special Projects and senior anchor at CNN-News18.
