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 be a market, but 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.”

Congress on Operation Sindoor Delegation: Congress Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh has made serious allegations against the Modi government, saying that Congress leaders have been deliberately sidelined in delegations being sent abroad on the national issue related to Pakistan. He said that it shows how the government does not back down from playing political sports even on issues of national interest.

Jairam Ramesh revealed that on the morning of May 16, the Modi government had sought the names of four MPs or leaders from the Congress to include them in the delegations to be sent to various countries. The Congress sent the list of four names in writing through the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha at 12 noon to the government, but when the list of delegations was released late on 17 May, only one name was included.

Cheap politics on serious national subjects: Jairam Ramesh

The Congress General Secretary said in its statement that it also highlights the trend of Modi government to make serious subjects a means for small political interests. However, he also clarified that the three Congress leaders who have been included in the delegation will discharge their duties and will fulfill their entire responsibility in the interest of the country.

The Congress has criticized this decision and said that this development is part of the strategy of repeatedly down the Congress by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP. Despite this, the Congress has wished the delegation that it will not fall to this level.

Jairam Ramesh repeated demands

Jairam Ramesh also reiterated that the initiative of the delegations should not distract the two major demands of the Congress. All -party meeting should be called under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister so that all the parties on Pakistan and Operation Sindoor can unanimously play their role. A special session should be called to repeat the proposal passed in Parliament on 22 February 1994. In this proposal, Pakistan -occupied Kashmir (POK) was described as an inseparable part of India and the commitment to reconcile it in India was reiterated. Jairam Ramesh said that when India has taken military action against Pakistan today, this proposal has become more relevant.
