All can see transformation under PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi busy undermining India's progress: BJP
The BJP on Saturday hit out at Rahul Gandhi, saying the Congress leader cannot see the transformation happening in the country under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership because he is too busy "undermining India's progress". This came after Gandhi launched a fresh salvo at Prime Minister Modi, and said he has mastered the "art of slogans" but offered no solutions, claiming that India's manufacturing was at a record low despite the 'Make in India' initiative. Hitting back, BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari wrote in a post on X, "Rahul ji, everyone in India can see the transformation, except you. Maybe because you're too busy undermining India's progress to notice it." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: 1 simple trick to get all TV channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo Operation Sindoor is the latest and "landmark example" of India's manufacturing prowess where India's indigenous developed drones destroyed Chinese drones, he added. Citing various data indicating progress made under the 'Make in India' initiative of the Modi government, BJP IT department head Amit Malviya said Rahul Gandhi's narratives are "outdated, misinformed, and disconnected from reality". Live Events "India is building. India is growing. India is leading," he said in a post on X. Under PM Modi, India has transformed from an importer to a global manufacturing powerhouse, Malviya added. Bhandari said since 2014 under PM Modi's leadership, engineering exports have surged by 60 per cent while defence exports "skyrocketed from just Rs 686 crore to over Rs 23,000 crore". "From importing 70 per cent of our defence equipment, India now manufactures 65 per cent of its needs domestically. PMI is at a 10-month high, signalling industrial strength," he said. Bhandari said India under Modi's leadership supplied 60 per cent of the world's COVID-19 vaccines, becoming the "pharmacy of the world". India is now the second largest mobile phone manufacturer globally, he added. "While Indian startups and entrepreneurs were burning the midnight oil to build a world-class drone industry, you (Rahul Gandhi) were busy endorsing Chinese drones and promoting Chinese brands on Indian soil," the BJP spokesperson charged. Bhandari said Gandhi never believed in 'Make in India' because 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' doesn't align with his "imported ideology." "What was there in that secret MoU which you signed with the Communist Party of China," Bhandari asked. Malviya, in his post on X, said "Let's bust the myths - with facts". He said the PLI scheme, which Gandhi claimed had failed, has led to cumulative investments of Rs 10,905 crore, total production worth Rs 7.15 lakh crore and exports of Rs 3.9 lakh crore. "Electronics production value rose from Rs 18,900 crore (FY14) to Rs 4,22,000 crore (FY24). Mobile phone exports surged 77-fold from Rs 1,566 crore (2014-15) to Rs 1.2 lakh crore (2023-24)," he said. He added that 99.2 per cent of mobile phones sold in India are now made in India, up from just 26 per cent in 2014-15. Malviya further said that under the PLI scheme for electronics alone, 1,39,670 direct jobs have already been created. As many as 1.8 lakh new companies were registered in 2023-24, marking a 16 per cent increase over the previous year, he said. "Electronics exports hit USD 38+ billion in FY24-25, a 32 per cent year-on-year increase," Malviya said. "PLI allocations for electronics rose from Rs 5,747 crore (FY24-25) to Rs 8,885 crore (FY25-26) - a clear signal of continued commitment," he added. Malviya said the government has approved landmark semiconductor projects worth Rs 1.52 lakh crore, "a critical leap into deep-tech manufacturing". Overall, electronics production is projected to reach USD 300 billion by 2026, he said.

‘Pathetic State': What A Pilot Told YouTuber Gaurav Taneja About Airlines Ignoring Safety Measures
Last Updated: Gaurav Taneja, aka Flying Beast, opened up about the real reasons behind the Air India Flight 171 crash in Ahmedabad. YouTuber Gaurav Taneja, also known as Flying Beast, lauded the Air India pilots for refusing to fly unsafe aircraft after the unfortunate crash in Ahmedabad on June 12. Contrary to this, the ex-pilot revealed that airlines habitually overlooked the safety measures, resulting in such tragic incidents. He ruled out bad weather as one of the significant reasons behind the incident and went on to explain the loopholes of the airlines. In a well-informed video on his YouTube channel, Taneja highlighted the safety standards in the Indian aviation industry while addressing various theories about the tragic Air India Flight 171 crash. He said the dual-engine failure was possibly the only reason the Air India flight crashed. 'In the event of bad weather, the aircraft warns the pilots to either delay takeoff or abort takeoff… A 787 has two radars, one on the left and one on the right. For dispatch, it is necessary for at least one to be functional," he said. He continued, 'If the aircraft has 100 pieces of equipment, the rulebook says that it can function even if 30 of them have failed. For instance, an aircraft can fly safely with even one functional weather radar. This is made to operationally assist the airline," further mentioning, 'Let's go with the theory that one engine failed on the ground and the other failed after takeoff… This theory makes a little sense. But this is extremely rare. I've been researching for so many days, and it still doesn't make full sense." The former commercial pilot also threw light on Boeing's close battle with Airbus and revealed how the duo have been constantly taking ahead the entire fleet. 'Airbus took the lead after the launch of the A320. To compete with them, Boeing unveiled the 737 Max, and decided that pilots can safely fly the aircraft with just a two-hour iPad training," he stated. However, according to Taneja, the airlines often neglect to inform pilots about the MCAS system (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System), a flight control system developed by Boeing, specifically for the 737 MAX aircraft, which was designed to enhance the aircraft's stability and wondered what if a different software issue could have caused the Air India crash. Further, highlighting the safety standards of the airlines, he said, 'A pilot told me that aircraft are in a pathetic state. Remember I told you about the MELs (Minimum Equipment Lists), and that a plane can fly with even one working radar? These snags are quite common. Every flight has snags. But they have a habit of overlooking these snags." Watch the video here: He went on narrating, 'The on-ground engineer will tell you that they are giving a temporary okay, they know, and the airline knows that the snag will appear during the flight. For every snag that happens, a live report goes to the company. The company knows everything. The company is okaying these snags despite knowing about them, and leaving it to the pilot to deal with these snags during the flight," and puts direct blame on the internal conflicts between the internal departments, which ultimately results in such a situation. At least 274 people, including 241 of the 242 onboard the London-bound Air India flight, died when the Dreamliner 787-8 crashed moments after take-off in Ahmedabad.
