Rahul Gandhi slams PM Modi over 'Make in India', cites job concerns

The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that despite promises of a "Make in India" factory boom, manufacturing in the country is at a record low and youth unemployment is very high. Gandhi questioned the effectiveness of the "Make in India" initiative, highlighting that manufacturing in the country has fallen to a record low of 14 per cent of the economy since 2014. He also pointed to rising youth unemployment and a doubling of imports from China, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of focusing on slogans rather than real solutions. In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi shared a video and wrote, "Make in India" promised a factory boom. So why is manufacturing at record lows, youth unemployment at record highs, and why have imports from China more than doubled? Modi ji has mastered the art of slogans, not solutions. Since 2014, manufacturing has fallen to 14% of our economy." He highlighted the challenges faced by India's youth, sharing in a post that he met two talented young men, Shivam and Saif, in Nehru Place, New Delhi, who remain unable to fulfil their potential. He criticised the country's current economic model and said, "In Nehru Place, New Delhi, I met Shivam and Saif - bright, skilled, full of promise - yet denied the opportunity to fulfil it. The truth is stark: we assemble, we import, but we don't build. China profits." He said that Prime Minister Modi has no new ideas and has given up on growing India's industries. He added that even the important PLI scheme is being quietly stopped. Gandhi called for big changes to help Indian producers with honest reforms and financial support, warning that if India doesn't build its industries, it will keep buying from other countries. "With no new ideas, Modi ji has surrendered. Even the much-hyped PLI scheme is now being quietly rolled back. India needs a fundamental shift - one that empowers lakhs of producers through honest reforms and financial support. We must stop being a market for others. If we don't build here, we'll keep buying from those who do. The clock is ticking," the post reads The Make in India initiative was launched by the Prime Minister in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He was booked along with a Hyderabad-based businessman for alleged corrupt practices in tender processes and payment clearance. The judge stated that considering the "nature and gravity of the offence" and the allegations against the accused, custodial interrogation was warranted to "unearth the conspiracy". The judge remarked that the allegations levelled against the applicant cannot be brushed aside at this stage. "There is no submission that the accused was falsely roped in or that the allegations are motivated or frivolous or that he has been framed with an oblique motive," said the judge. The judge further noted that the material on record reveals that the officers of the FCI demanded bribes from private individuals to secure favourable orders in the ongoing tender process. The investigating officer has placed on record transcripts of telephone calls intercepted by the CBI, which indicate that the accused was a party to the conversation. "The applicant was discussing the 'award' of the tender, as well as money to be paid to the 'general manager' for the award of the tender. Moreover, another General Manager was apprehended while accepting a cash amount of Rs 20 lakh from the accused, Uma Maheshwar. There is prima facie evidence to indicate that the applicant was involved in accepting illegal gratification for securing a favourable outcome of tenders," the judge said. According to the FIR, CBI received information indicating Kumar and another AGM, Srinivas Mylapalli, colluded with private persons to secure contracts and favourable tender results.
