Rahul Gandhi Attacks on PM Modi: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” initiative. He said that this scheme, launched with big promises in 2014, neither flooded the factories in the country nor got employment to the youth. On the contrary, the manufacturing capacity of the country has come down to just 14% and unemployment among the youth is at a record level.
“Make in India has failed”: Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi shared a video on the social media platform X (East Twitter) and wrote, “Make in India ‘promised the factory boom. So why is the manufacturing records at a low level? Why the unemployment of the youth is increasing? And why has imports doubled from China? The art of giving slogans to Modi ji has come, but he is felt in the solution.”
Youth dreams incomplete, China earning profit
Rahul Gandhi, while referring to the meeting with two young Shivam and Saif at Nehru Place in New Delhi, said that both of them are skilled, talented and hardworking youth, but they are not getting the opportunity to fulfill their dreams. Rahul Gandhi said, “We only assemble, ask for goods from outside, but do not make real construction. China is earning profit and our youth are missing behind.”
He termed India’s current economic policy as unbalanced and opportunistic. Rahul said that since 2014, the contribution of manufacturing sector has fallen to 14%, which is very worrying. He also alleged that imports from China have doubled in the past years, which has directly affected the small industries of the country.
PLI scheme is also being closed quietly- Rahul Gandhi
Expressing deep concern over the government’s industry policy, Rahul Gandhi said that Prime Minister Modi has no new idea now. He also claimed that the PLI scheme which was discussed a lot about the scheme, is now being ended silently. Modi ji has now given up hope of increasing Indian industries.
“If India will not make it, it will only buy”
Rahul Gandhi warned that if India does not increase its construction capacity, then we will only become a market for other countries. He said that India now needs a fundamental change with honest reforms and financial support. Rahul Gandhi said, “We do not just have to become a market, but have to become a producer. If we do not build here, we will always buy from those who do. The needles of the clock are going on fast.”
