At a press conference here, Kejriwal claimed the Centre's decision to exempt 11 per cent duty on cotton imports from the US till December 31, 2025 would hurt the Indian cotton farmers. It will make the US farmers rich and Gujarat cultivators poor, he added.

India currently has an import duty exemption for raw cotton until December 31 this year to support the textile industry and lower input costs.
